Tadashi Nakayama was a Japanese woodblock print artist, working in a style that combines influences from traditional Japanese ukiyo-e prints and Western painting. He studied oil painting at Tama Art College but left in 1947. From 1962 to 1965 he lived in Milan, Italy and then England. He taught at Bath Academy of Arts. Motifs in his work include butterflies, horses, cranes, and girls with long flowing hair. Some of his later pieces were inspired by Persian, Byzantine and Renaissance styles.
