Shoen Uemura

Shoen Uemura 1875-1949

Shoen Uemura was born in Kyoto where her parents had a little tea shop. As a little girl she showed all signs of a prodigy child. The drawings of the little child won the admiration of those being close to her. Shoen Uemura studied at the Kyoto Prefectural School of Painting. Her teacher was Suzuki Shonen with whom she was suspected of having a relationship. She gave birth to a daughter but never revealed the name of the father. In her works she shows a modern image of Japanese women. Shoen Uemura won many prizes and honors. In 1948 she became the first woman to receive the Order of Cultural Merit. Shoen Uemura is highly respected in today's Japan as an outstanding artist and a forerunner for the rights of women in the Japanese society.
