Tokujiro Nishi lives in Tokyo, Japan.  He began his studies in art in the 1930’s.  He paints in the tradition of the American artist and historian Ernest Fenollosa (1853-1908), who introduced oil painting to Japan in the 19^th century.

Nishi’s paintings of Japanese shrines and temples and Europe’s historic buildings are painted with thick impasto and brilliant color.
