Shibata Zeshin was an innovative painter and [[lacquerware]] artist of the late [[Edo period]] and [[Meiji period]]. He painted in lacquer, rather than ink or mineral colors, on paper and silk, and invented a wide variety of techniques and effects for lacquerware, using metals and other materials.
Zeshin was born in Tachibana-machi 2-chôme (east of [[Nihonbashi]]), and began practicing lacquerware techniques under [[Koma Kansai]]<!--古満寛哉--> from age 11. In [[1822]], he then began studying [[Maruyama-Shijo school|Maruyama-Shijô style]] painting under [[Suzuki Nanrei]]<!--鈴木南嶺-->. He moved to [[Kyoto]] in [[1830]], and studied for a time under [[Okamoto Toyohiko]] before returning to Tokyo. He made a home at Asakusa 1-chôme, calling his home ''Tairyûkyo'' (対柳居).
Zeshin played a role in the founding of the Japan Lacquerware Artists Society (''Nihon shikkô kai''), the ''[[Ryuchikai|Ryûchikai]]'' (Dragon Pond Society), and the Oriental Art Society (''[[Toyo Kaigakai|Tôyô Kaigakai]]'').
He died on July 13, [[1891]], and is buried at [[Shofuku-ji|Shôfuku-ji]] in the Asakusa neighborhood of [[Tokyo]].
