Životopis:

Yasushi Sugiyama (October 20, 1909 – October 20, 1993) was a Japanese painter of the Shōwa and Heisei eras, who practiced the nihonga style of watercolour painting. He formed the "rossogasha" along with Yamamoto Kyujin and Takayama Tatsuo, and participated positively in the movement to reform nihonga. His paintings are characterized by peacefulness filled with a sense of security, owing to excellent sketching ability and solid construction. In 1958, his eldest daughter married Yukio Mishima. He received a commission to design the carpets of Tokyo Imperial Palace. In 1974, Sugiyama was awarded the Order of Culture.
