*''Japanese'': 藤島武二 ''(Fujishima Takeji)''
Fujishima Takeji was a [[Meiji period]] ''[[yoga|yôga]]'' (Western-style oil paintings) artist. He is known for numerous now-famous works, and for teaching a number of other notable artists of the time.
Originally from [[Kagoshima]], he lost his father and two elder brothers during his childhood. While caring for his elderly mother and helping raise his younger siblings, Fujishima began studying ''[[Nihonga]]'' (traditional Japanese painting) and ''yôga''. He became a painting instructor at the [[Technical Art School]] in Tokyo at the age of 29 in [[1896]].
At age 38, Fujishima traveled to France, where he remained for five years. Upon his return, he was named a full professor at the Technical Art School. In 1937, he was granted the first Cultural Medal.
