Kobayashi Kokei

▪ Japanese painter
original name  Kobayashi Shigeru  
born Feb. 11, 1883, Niigata prefecture, Japan
died April 3, 1957, Tokyo

      artist who greatly contributed to modern Japanese painting.

      Orphaned early in life, Kobayashi went to Tokyo when he was 17 and studied traditional Japanese painting with Kajita Hanko (1870–1917). He joined the Restored Japan Academy of Art and became one of its most prominent members. He at first painted traditional subject matters, such as “Taketori monogatari” (1914; “Tale of the Bamboo Cutter”), but soon switched to contemporary scenes and still life. His works are known for their serenity and classical poise, eloquently conveying subtle moods. Among his famous works are “Amida-dō” (1914; “The Amitabha Hall”), “Ideyu” (1918; “Hot Spring”), and “Kami” (1931; “Tresses”).
