About Doitsu Sakai

  • Biography

    Sakai Doitsu was the son of Yamamoto Sodo (act. first half of the 19th cent.), who was a direct student of Sakai Hoitsu (1761-1828). Doitsu was adopted by Sakai Ohitsu (1826-1862), thereby acquiring the Sakai family name, and became the fourth generation master of Ugean, the painting studio established by Hoitsu in Negishi, Edo.

    One of Doitsu most well-known paintings currently in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum is a two-fold screen based on a work by Hoitsu depicting flowering plants of summer and autumn, which was included in the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.
