Ōno Bakufu (大野麦風)
1888–1976

Ōno Bakufu was an oil painter and print artist who studied at the Hyōgo Prefectural Academy of Fine Arts and later at the Pacific Western-Style Painting Association (Taiheiyōgakai, 太平洋画会). He favored fish and flower prints, with one exceptional series being the Great Japanese Fish Picture Collection published by Kyoto Hanga-in. While Bakufu belonged to the sōsaku hanga (創作版画) movement, which was known for artists producing self-carved woodblocks prints, Bakufu frequently utilized skilled carvers and woodblock printmakers to publish his work.
