    Tatsumi Shimura (1907-1980) Tatsumi was born in Takasaki in Gunma prefecture under the given name of Sentaro. In the 1920s he studied with Yamakawa Saiho and his son, Yamakawa Shuho. Like many Japanese artists in the first half of the twentieth century, Shimura Tatsumi made his living as an illustrator for newspapers and magazines. One of the magazines he worked for, was Fujokai - Women's World. Similar to his job as an illustrator he continued to work as a painter - specializing in bijin-ga, the genre of the depiction of beautiful women. Occasionally he made a few prints before the war. In 1932 he contributed a print to the series Dai Tokyo hyakkei - One Hundred Views of Great Tokyo.
