About Kan'ei Nishiyama

  • Biography

    The son of the Osaka painter Nishiyama Hoen, after the abolition of the feudal system Nishiyama Kan'ei retired from public life and devoted himself to painting as well as playing a leading role in local art education. Many of his best works are detailed paintings on silk, including (as here) occasional portraits of beauties—a subject his father rarely tackled—executed in a distinctive version of the Shijo manner.
