Hirafuku Hyakusui (1877–1933) was a prominent Japanese painter and art historian, known for his contributions to the Nihonga style of painting, which emphasizes traditional Japanese techniques and aesthetics. Born in Akita Prefecture, Hyakusui was initially trained in the Western-style painting but later shifted his focus to Nihonga under the influence of his mentor, the renowned painter Kawai Gyokudō. His works are characterized by their delicate brushwork, subtle use of color, and a deep appreciation for nature and classical Japanese themes.

Hyakusui's oeuvre includes a wide range of subjects, from landscapes and portraits to historical and mythological scenes. His paintings often reflect a harmonious blend of realism and idealism, capturing the essence of his subjects with a refined sensitivity. One of his notable works is "The Tale of Genji," a series of paintings inspired by the classic Japanese literary work of the same name. This series showcases his ability to convey complex narratives and emotions through visual art, making it a significant contribution to the cultural heritage of Japan.

In addition to his painting career, Hyakusui was an influential art historian and educator. He played a crucial role in the preservation and promotion of traditional Japanese art forms during a time of rapid modernization in Japan. His scholarly work includes extensive research on the history of Japanese painting, and he was instrumental in the establishment of the Japan Art Institute, which aimed to support and nurture young artists.

Hyakusui's legacy continues to be celebrated in Japan and beyond, with his works held in major museums and collections around the world. His dedication to the Nihonga style and his contributions to art history have left an indelible mark on the world of Japanese art.
