Hashimoto Kansetsu ?? ? ? (1883-1945)

Hashimoto Kansetsu was the son of the painter Hashimoto Kaikan, from whom he inherited his love of Chinese art and culture. He studied at a private school founded by the well-known nihonga painter Seiho Takeuchi (1864-1942). In 1921 he traveled to Europe and he spent a great part of his life in China. Many of his paintings were inspired by Chinese landscape or classical literature. His former residence in Kyoto is now the Museum Hakusasonso (?? ? ?) or Hashimoto Kansetsu Memorial House.
