Name of a japanese artist who paints still life?

• I am doing a project for a still life artist, I have to research any still life artist, and I thought it would be interesting to find a japanese still life artist, as they have such a beautiful country and culture. If you do not know a japanese still life artist, please tell me the name of any other interesting still life artist. Thanks!

  Friend, please read the following : Tetsugoro Yorozu From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Yorozu was born in what is now part of Hanamaki, Iwate Prefecture in the Tohoku region of northern Japan as the eldest son of a merchant. He developed an interest in painting at an early age, and based on what he read in Oshita Tojiro’s “A Guide to Watercolors”, taught himself to paint watercolors. From 1914-1916 Yorozu returned to Iwate Prefecture to apply himself to his paintings, supported largely by the earnings of his wife. He painted a variety of self-portraits, landscapes and still-life paintings, and experimented with the beginnings of cubism. At the 4th Nika Exhibition held in 1917, he displayed "Leaning Woman" and "Still-life with a Brush Stand", which provoked wide critical acclaim. During this time he also displayed still-life works at exhibitions held by the Japan Art Academy and the Inten. Yorozu died at his home in Chigasaki at the age of 41, from tuberculosis. Many of his works are now displayed at the Yorozu Tetsugoro Museum, in his hometown of Hanamaki, Iwate.
