Hashimoto Gahō (橋本 雅邦; Japanese pronunciation: [ha.ɕi.mo.to (|) ɡaꜜ.hoː], August 21, 1835 – January 13, 1908) was a Japanese painter, one of the last to paint in the style of the Kanō school. He is also considered the founder of Nihonga and was an educator who trained many Nihonga painters.

He was one of the first five painters to be appointed as an Imperial Household Artist and was one of the most authoritative painters in Japan at that time. Read more on Wikipedia
