Japan: 'Ryu Sho Ten', Japanese dragon rising skywards against Mount Fuji. Ogata Gekko (1859-1920)

Ogata Gekkō (尾形月耕, 1859-1920) was a Japanese painter and woodblock print artist of the ukiyo-e genre.

Gekkō's work was originally closely based upon that of Kikuchi Yōsai. He was inspired by Hokusai, creating a series of one hundred prints of Mount Fuji. He also developed his own style, with significant stylistic elements borrowed from nihonga painting.
