My great grandfather was an artist in Japan, born in the late 1800's. As far as I know, his name was "Wakio Shibayama". While a few of his silk paintings remain today, many were destroyed during the firebombing of Tokyo towards the end of WWII. The story behind all these sketches on thinner than tissue rice paper is uncertain; however, I do know he taught at one time towards the end of his lifetime. What is remarkable is that these sketches may have been done by students although his "stamp" is on them.
