Nishizawa Tekiho (1889 – 1965)

Tekiho studied under Araki Kanpo (1831-1915) as well as his son Araki Jippo (1872-1944).  The father and son specialized in bird and flower paintings.

He was most famous for his charming paintings of traditional dolls and, following in his adoptive father’s footsteps, he became a serious collector and scholar of dolls.
