Kubota Beisen (久保田 米僊, 1852 – May 19, 1906) was a Japanese artist and art instructor in the Meiji period.
Although his style remained recognisably Japanese, his knowledge of Western principles and methods is also reflected in his work.[1] Beisen trained under Suzuki Hyakunen (1825–1891).[2] The way in which he integrated Western perspective and techniques in his work was a self-taught skill.
