*''Japanese'': [[山田]] 真山 ''(Yamada Shinzan)''
Yamada Shinzan was an Okinawan ''[[Nihonga]]'' painter, known in particular for a painting now hung in the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery, depicting a [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryukyuan]] mission arriving back in [[Naha]] Harbor in [[1873]] after being informed in Tokyo of the [[Ryukyu Shobun|abolition of their kingdom]]. It is the only work in the Gallery by an Okinawan artist.
Born in Naha, Shinzan began his artistic career as a sculptor. However, his painting of [[Ie Chochoku|Prince Ie's]] mission returning to Naha in 1873 (completed in June 1935) led to him becoming more well-known as a painter.
