Okada Kakyō

Okada Kakyō (岡田華郷, 1892–1981) was born in Tokyo. His given name was Genjirō 源次郎. His pen names were Kakyō and Nengesō 拈華荘. He studied Yamato-e and ukiyo-e under Kikkawa Reika (吉川霊華, 1875-1929). Although he exhibited at the 6th Teiten exhibition in 1925, like his master, he eventually refused to exhibit his works at major and public venues.
