: I am hoping that someone may have some information on the Japanese artist, G. Yokouchi. I have one of his paintings-- it is a lake scene in the Japanese Alps-- a fisherman in his boat-- a temple rising through the mist in the distance-- vibrant fall colors in the trees. This magnificent work of art is painted in the Western watercolor technique-- I believe it was painted between 1890 and 1920.
I also have a watercolor by a Japanese artist named Yokouchi. It is a winter scene with a man walking next to a river holding an umbrella. Along the river bank, a boat is docked. There is also a building of some kind on the right side of the watercolor. The predominant color is blue, and it is artist signed in the lower left in Western style letters. I purchased this watercolor at an estate sale over 20 years ago. Judging by the frame that it was originally in, I would estimate that this watercolor was done within the dates you specified (1890-1920). I cannot find any info on this artist.
