Footnotes
Born in Kyoto, Kawakita Kaho was a painter in the traditional Japanese-style and a pupil of Kono Bairei (1844-1895) and later, of Kikuchi Hobun (1862-1918). He frequently exhibited at the Bunten shows and won several prizes. He often painted scenes from Japanese legends in a mixture of the later Shijo-style and Western realism.
