Edoardo Chiossone was an Italian prints artist known for his famous portraits of the Meiji Emperor and designs for Japan's first nationally-issued paper currency, among other works.

A photograph of a 1888 drawing of the Meiji Emperor by Chiossone, based on an in-person meeting with the emperor, quickly became the most widely reproduced and distributed imperial portrait of the time.[1]

Chiossone is also known for recommending that the Meiji government perform surveys of historical sites, ancient monuments, and artistic treasures.
