Kiyohara Yukinobu was one of Japan's earliest and most talented female painters. Kiyohara preferred Japanese-style painting techniques and subjects. Her work depicts the scenery and history of her native land. In addition to the tonalities of ink, she applied a delicate range of colors that help identify the seasons, an important theme in Japanese life and culture.
