Biography

Kuroda was born in Kagoshima. In 1872, he was adopted by his uncle Kuroda Kiyotsune, who later became a viscount, and moved to Tokyo. He went to France in 1884 to study law, but while there studied painting with Raphaël Collin and then entered the Académie Colarossi. With the encouragement of friends, he decided to devote himself to painting. “Reading” and “Morning Toilette” were accepted at the Salon. After returning to Japan in 1894, he opened a painting school, the Tenshin-dojo, with Kume Keiichiro. Two years later, he organized the Hakuba-kai and became a teacher in the new Western-style painting section at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts. In 1900, he went back to France for a year to study methods of art education. While there, he won the silver prize for “Intellect, Sense, and Emotion” at the Paris International Exposition. He was appointed a judge for the Bunten exhibition held in 1907. In 1910, he was the first Western-style painter appointed as an Artist to the Imperial Household. He was elected to the House of Peers in 1920, and in 1922 he became head of the Imperial Art Institute. He died in Tokyo.
