Ryuzaburo Umehara and Toshiyuki Hasegawa
Ryuzaburo Umehara and Toshiyuki Hasegawa are western-style painting artists who represent modern art in Japan.
The lives and works of these artists are extreme opposites, Umehara is dynamic and clear, while Hasegawa is intense and direct, but both have profoundly shaped the history of Japanese-style painting (influenced from western-style painting), and their paintings continue to enchant people today.

Ecole de Paris : Tsuguharu Fujita and Kinosuke Ebihara
Tsuguharu Fujita was a painter who was active in Paris. He drew nudes with a superb milky white color, and his unparalleled expressiveness immortalized him in Paris art circles. Fujita's friend, Kinosuke Ebihara, was known for a striking shade of blue called "Ebihara Blue". Like Fujita, Ebihara's work was full of personality and uniquely expressive.
