Beisaku (Baisaku) Taguchi 1864-1903

Beisaku Taguchi is known for prints from the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-95. He was born in a prosperous rice merchant's house in Tochigi prefecture. He went to Tokyo in 1873, studied with Nakamura Banzan, later with Kobayashi Kiyochika. Although he was a landscape painter, he did some caricatures and worked for "Dan Dan Chinbun" (a sort of Punch, or New-Yorker).
