Ragusa Tama was a ''[[yoga|yôga]]'' (Western-style oil) painter of the [[Meiji period|Meiji]] through early Shôwa periods, and the wife of Sicilian artist [[Vincenzo Ragusa]], who came to Japan to teach art.
Originally from [[Edo]], and known as Kiyohara Tama, she became a student of the visiting teacher Vincenzo Ragusa, as well as modeling for him. In [[1882]], she accompanied him back to Italy, where she studied for a time at the University of Palermo. Marrying Ragusa, she took on the Italian name Eleonora, taught at the Palermo School of the Arts, and became a famous painter in her own right.
Following her husband's death in 1933, she returned to Japan. She died six years later, on April 6, 1939, at the age of 78.
