Naganuma Moriyoshi was a [[Tokyo]]-based bronze sculptor of the [[Meiji period]], one of the first Japanese to be trained in the Italian tradition.
He studied sculpture in Venice, and in [[1891]] became an Italian teacher at the Military Artillery Engineering School. Commissioned to produce sculptures of members of the [[Mori clan|Môri clan]], he established a new workshop at the artillery arsenal at Koishikawa (in Tokyo); Naganuma later designed sculptures of [[Chief of Home Affairs (Taiwan)|Taiwan Chief of Home Affairs]] [[Mizuno Jun]] and railroad engineer [[Hasegawa Kinsuke]], erected in Taipei in 1903 and 1911 respectively.
