Yamamoto Shoun

Yamamoto Shoun was a Japanese artist renowned for his contributions to woodblock printing, painting, and illustration.

Shōun is celebrated for his bijin-ga (portraits of beautiful women) and humorous shikishiban prints, which serve as a bridge between the ukiyo-e and shin-hanga movements. His works are distinguished by their delicate lines, subtle colours, and the graceful depiction of everyday life, reflecting a blend of traditional and modern Japanese aesthetics
