Niro Yokota was a master Japanese watercolour artist, who lived and painted everyday scenes of rural Thailand from 1940 until his death in 1985. After the war, he travelled extensively across many Asian and European countries, selling his paintings of Thai scenes. Through his paintings, Yokota allowed foreigners to have a glimpse of the Thai way of life, which helped Thailand gain prominent recognition on the world map. In his later years, Yokota was honoured by the Thai King as a national artist, an extraordinary gift for a foreigner.
