*''Born: [[1578]]''
*''Died: [[1650]]''
*''Japanese'': 岩佐又兵衛 ''(Iwasa Matabei)''
Iwasa Matabei was among the pioneers of ''[[ukiyo-e]]'' ("Pictures of the Floating World") painting. Originally a student of the [[Tosa school]], at some point in the early 17th century, he left the school to pursue a more popular (commoner) style of painting, producing [[genre paintings]] and other works often considered to be either among the earliest works of ''ukiyo-e'', or significant forerunners to true ''ukiyo-e''.
The eponymous character of Matahei in [[Chikamatsu Monzaemon|Chikamatsu Monzaemon's]] play ''[[Domo-mata]]'' is based on Matabei.
