Tanaka Yûbi was a prominent [[Nihonga]] painter of the [[Meiji period|Meiji]] through early Shôwa periods. He is perhaps best known for a pair of series of handscroll paintings depicting the lives and accomplishments of [[Sanjo Sanetomi|Sanjô Sanetomi]] and [[Iwakura Tomomi]], and for another set of handscrolls depicting the funeral of the [[Meiji Emperor]] (「御大葬之図」). All of these remain in the [[Sannomaru Shozokan|Imperial Collections]] today.

Born and raised in [[Yamashiro province]], Yûbi came into the service of the Imperial Court through his apprenticeship to his cousin [[Okada Tamechika]], and became a playmate for the young Meiji Emperor. He was officially named Imperial court painter in [[1884]].

Tanaka died on 1933/2/20.

His eldest son [[Tanaka Shinbi]]<!--田中親美--> ([[1875]]-1975) was an art historian who is most known for his research on, and hand-painted reproductions of, [[Heian period]] ''[[emaki]]'' (handscrolls) depicting scenes from the [[Tale of Genji]] and [[Tale of the Heike]].<ref>"[http://kotobank.jp/word/%E7%94%B0%E4%B8%AD%E8%A6%AA%E7%BE%8E Tanaka Shinbi]," ''Nihon jinmei daijiten'', Kodansha, 2009.</ref>
