Kobayashi Kokei （ 1883 ～ 1957 ）, a master of Japanese painting from Joetsu City, Japan, was active at the Japan Art Institute during the turbulent Meiji ・ Taisho ・ Showa Era. While based on sketching, Kogei thoroughly studied Yamato-e, Rimpa school, and old Japanese paintings, and reached the so-called "neoclassicism" that incorporated modern sensibilities and matured his painting style, leaving a solid footprint in the history of modern Japanese art. In 1950 ） he became the first person from Niigata Prefecture to be awarded the Order of Cultural Merit.

While his works were mainly exhibited at the Japan Art Institute Exhibition （ and the Inten Exhibition ）, he also exhibited his works at various painting organizations. He has never skipped a beat in the creation of not only large works but also small ones, and has left behind many works with beautiful lines and colors.
