Biography Hatsuyama, Shigeru (1897 - 1973)
Born in Asakusa, Tokyo, in 1897, Hatsuyama Shigeru studied yamato-e painting as a child under Araki Tanrei, a Kano-school painter in Yanaka (Tokyo). Then he was apprenticed to a goldsmith; subsequently he worked for a fabric dyer in Kanda-Imagawabashi for five years, then worked for a kabuki actor, wrote poetry, and became a pupil of Igawa Sengai, a Japanese-style painter known for his pictures of women. In 1919 he became an illustrator for children's magazines following the founding of the children's magazine Otogi no sekai - Fairy World ; Hatsuyama did the illustrations for its cover from the first to the very last issue, which came out in October 1923.
