Biography

Yasuda was born in Tokyo. His real name was Shinzaburo. In 1898 he became a pupil of Kobori Tomoto. That same year he organized a study group with fellow pupils named Shiko-kai, later changed to Koji-kai when Imamura Shiko joined. This group, devoted to change and innovation in Japanese-style painting, stayed active until 1913. During this period, he exhibited with the early Inten and Bunten, showing his unusual talent in historical paintings like “Yumedono Hall” of 1912. Toward the end of the Meiji period, he met Hara Sankei and learned a great deal from his collection of old masterpieces. In 1914 he participated in the reorganization of the Inten and submitted “Praying at the Birth of a Child” to the first exhibition. During the Taisho and early Showa periods he was a major figure in the Inten, showing innovative historical paintings based on the Yamato-e tradition at the Inten exhibitions. In 1942 he received the Asahi Culture Prize for “Camp at Kisegawa,” and in 1948 was awarded the Order of Cultural Merit. He was also given the important task of preserving and copying the murals in the Kondo of Horyuji Temple.
