Yabu Meizan (Japanese: 藪 明山, birth name Yabu Masashichi (藪 政七),[1] January 20, 1853 – 1934) was a Japanese artist and workshop owner known for painting on porcelain. His studio produced high-end Satsuma ware, primarily for the export market. That term was originally coined for artistic painted porcelain from the Satsuma Province. Eventually it expanded to include low-quality porcelain that was mass-produced for export, whereas Meizan was one of the artists who continued the tradition of high artistic quality while also successfully exporting.[2][3] He is regarded as the "prince" of this medium[3][4] and today his works are sought after by collectors.[3]
