Kanokogi Takeshirō ( Japanese 鹿 子 木 孟 郎 , stage name : Futō Sanjin ( 不 倒 山人 ); born November 19, 1874 in Okayama Prefecture ; died April 3, 1941 ) was a Japanese painter of the Yōga direction during the Meiji , Taishō - and early Shōwa period .

life and work

Kanokogi first studied painting under Matsubara Sangorō ( 松原 三 五郎 ; 1864-1946), but then went to Tōkyō and continued studying at the Fudōsha ( 不同 社 ), the school that Koyama Shōtarō had set up and directed. From 1900 to 1903 he went to France and, unlike his Japanese colleagues, studied in Paris not under Collin , but under Jean-Paul Laurens .

Upon his return, Kanokogi set up his own school in Kyoto and tried to introduce western-style painting in the Kansai area. He was a member of the Taiheiyō Gakai ( 太平洋 画 会 ) artists' association and founded the Kansai Bjijutsuin (関 西 美術 院) with Nakazawa Iwata ( 中 沢 岩 太 ; 1858–1943), Asai Chū and others. In 1906, again in France, he was able to exhibit pictures in one of the Paris salons.

He was also a juror for the state annual art exhibition Bunten and the later Teiten.
