Atomi Kakei was a [[Meiji period]] educator, scholar of Sino-Japanese studies, and [[Maruyama school]] painter, known for her works decorating the [[Sakura (city)|Sakura]] [[Hotta mansion|mansion]] of [[Hotta Masatomo]].

Born in [[Settsu province]] in [[1840]], she helped at her father's ''[[juku]]'' before moving to Kyoto, where she opened her own ''juku'', teaching painting, calligraphy, and poetry. She then moved to Tokyo in [[1870]], and in [[1875]] opened a general school for girls known as the Atomi School.
