Note:
Born in Dazaifu on the island of Kyushu, Yoshitsugu studied calligraphy with Tanso Hirose and later studied painting with Koseki Nakanishi. Known as ‘left hand Haizan’ because he lost his right hand in the 1871 earthquake. The accident created a dramatic change in his compositions. While a certain sensitivity and ability to paint details was lost, his paintings developed a certain stylish strength.
