*''Japanese'': [[山本]]森之助 ''(Yamamoto Morinosuke)''
Yamamoto Morinosuke was the first artist to teach [[yoga|Western-style oil painting]] in [[Okinawa prefecture|Okinawa]].
He began teaching at Okinawa Prefectural #1 Middle School (''Okinawa kenritsu daiichi chûgakkô'') in [[1901]].
His students included [[Tokashiki Isen]] 渡嘉敷唯選 ([[1886]]-1927) and [[Nishime Seiraku]] 西銘生楽 ([[1887]]-1924), who then went on to become likely the first teachers of Western-style oil painting in Okinawa to be [[Ryukyuan people|Okinawan]].
