  • Japanese: 山田 真山 (Yamada Shinzan)

Yamada Shinzan was an Okinawan Nihonga painter, known in particular for a painting now hung in the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery, depicting a Ryukyuan mission arriving back in Naha Harbor in 1873 after being informed in Tokyo of the abolition of their kingdom. It is the only work in the Gallery by an Okinawan artist.

Born in Naha, Shinzan began his artistic career as a sculptor. However, his painting of Prince Ie's mission returning to Naha in 1873 (completed in June 1935) led to him becoming more well-known as a painter.
