Biography Chikusai, Yamashita 竹斎 山下 (1885 - 1973)

Yamashita Chikusai was born in Kyoto in 1885. He became a pupil of Yamamoto Shunkyo (1871-1933) at the age of fifteen. He was one of Shunkyo’s best-known and highest ranking pupils.
He lived in Kyoto, where he regularly exhibited at the Bunten and Teiten. In 1911, when he was 25 years old, he won a prize at the Bunten. Later, he won eight prizes in a row. One of these eight was a first prize. After the Bunten had been reorganized as the Teiten, Chikusai became a committee member. His specialty was landscapes.
He died in 1973.
