ARTISTS AND THEIR PAINTINGS. 
The most prominent artists in Kyoto have given Mr. Hirase their warm sympathy in his sincere endeavours, 
and have presentedihim with various fine pictures of shells painted by themselves. 
These have been framed, and hang on the walls of the upper hall. The artists are as follows : — 
Keinen Imao, Gyokusen Mochizuki, Shonen Suzuki, Takeshiro Kanokogi, Shunkyo Yamamoto, Kwak6 Tsuji, 
Kwaigen Ito, Okoku Kijima, and Henry Bowie (an American). 
The picture of “Daruma”, an old Buddhist priest, on the right, was painted by Mr. Shonen Suzuki, who was 
so kind as to send it to the president to console him when he was confined to his sick bed. Close examination 
will reveal that the features are formed of various species of shells. Of the others, one (above) is Mr. Mochizuki’s 
and the other Mr. Imao’s work.
