Yamamoto Shoun

Yamamoto Shoun (1870–1965) was a Japanese artist renowned for his contributions to woodblock printing, painting, and illustration. Born in Kōchi Prefecture, he trained in traditional Kanō and Nanga painting styles before moving to Tokyo, where he worked as an illustrator for Fugoku gaho, a pictorial magazine. 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
