Maruyama Okyo (1733-95) was a Japanese artist in Kyoto where he was influenced by Chinese and Western styles of painting. He mixed Western Naturalism and Eastern art, and founded the Maruyama school of painting. It's believed that Okyo was the first Japanese artist to draw life drawings from nude models. (Wikipedia)
