Biografi:

Gyokushu KUWAYAMA (1746 – May 17, 1799) was a painter in the Southern Chinese style and art critic of the mid-Edo period in Japan. Gyokushu along with Nankai GION was one of the most prominent painters of the Nanga school, also known as Bunjinga, which was a school of Japanese painting that flourished in the late Edo period among artists who considered themselves literati, or intellectuals. Gyokushu was known for his admiration for traditional Chinese culture and his paintings, usually in monochrome black ink, sometimes with light color, and nearly always depicting Chinese landscapes or similar subjects, were patterned after Chinese literati painting, called wenrenhua (文人画) in Chinese.
