Yumeji Takehisa   (1884-1934)
Yumeji was born Mojiro Takehisa in the village of Honjo, on the southeastern edge of Present-day Okayama prefecture.  His father, Kikuzo, was a sake brewer and the house where Yumeji was born now forms an annex of a museum in his honor. 

As a young boy he enjoyed sketching and when he entered Kobe middle school he became fascinated by exoticism.  When his father proposed moving the family to the more promising southern island of Kyushu, Yumeji demurred and expressed his wish to go to Tokyo and become a painter.  Parental opposition soon quashed that plan and as a compromise Yumeji was enrolled at the private Waseda school.&nb
