(2) Imao Keinen was a Japanese painter and print designer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and part of the shin-hanga ('new print') movement. He studied ukiyo-e painting with Umegata Tokyo and other Japanese styles with Suzuki Hyakunen. In 1880, he began to teach as a professor at the Kyoto Prefecture School of Painting. In 1904, he became a member of the Art Committee of the Imperial Household and a Member of the Imperial Art Academy in 1919. An important Japanese style painter, Keinen specialized in kacho-ga (flower and bird pictures) with very realistic detail. The end panels 175cm high, 59.5cm wide OTHER NOTES: Born in Kyoto, Imao Keinen first studied under the Ukiyo-e style painter Umegawa Tokyo in 1854. Three years later he joined the studio of the Shijo-Maruyama School artist Suzuki Hyakunen. Keinen won a silver medal in 1900 at the Paris Exposition and in 1904 he won a gold medal at the Saint Louis Exposition. That same year Keinen was appointed a Teishitsu Gigeiin or Imperial Court Artist. Keinen served as a judge for the Bunten with its inception in 1907. Keinen's exquisitely delicate kachoga or bird-and-flower paintings received high acclaim overseas as well as within Japan. Keinen passed away in Kyoto at the age of 79 on October 5, 1924. Imao Keinen's paintings are in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Tokyo National Museum, and the Yamatane Museum of Art.
