Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Kubota Beisen Eshimano kasumi “KUBOTA, a Japanese-style painter, was born in Kyoto. His subjects include figures and landscapes, and particularly historical themes. Kubota’s style at times is quite nanga. In 1880, with Kono BAIREI, started the Kyoto Prefectural School of Painting and taught there (one of his students was Natori SHUNSEN (1886 - 1960), who at the age of eleven, had entered his school). He worked as an illustrator with the army during the Sino-Japanese War, and also for the newspaper Kokumin Shimbun, which he helped to establish. Kubota’s best-known work in this genre is the eleven-volume Nisshin senso gaho (‘A Pictorial Record of the Sino-Japanese War’), published in intervals between October 1894 and June 1895.”(http://www.degener.com/illustr2.htm)
