Kubota Beisen was a Japanese artist and art instructor in the Meiji period.Although his style remained recognizably Japanese, his knowledge of Western principles and methods is also reflected in his work. Beisen trained under Suzuki Hyakunen (1825–1891). The way in which he integrated Western perspective and techniques in his work was a self-taught skill. Kubota was a teacher at the Kyoto Prefectural School of Painting, which was founded in 1878 by Kubota and others.
