Hayami, Gyoshu

(b Tokyo, 2 Aug 1894; d Tokyo, 20 March 1935). Japanese painter. He trained in 1908 at the Angado Gajuku, the painting school of Fuko Matsumoto (1840–1923). He joined and studied with the innovative research group the Red Day Society (Sekiyokai), which was co-founded by another student at Matsumoto’s school, Shiko Imamura (1880–1916). In 1914 Hayami exhibited work in the revived Inten, the exhibition of the Japan Art Institute, and in 1917 he became a member of the institute. As a Japanese-style (Nihonga) painter (see JAPAN, §VI, 5(iii)), he was influenced by such painting as that of the Northern Renaissance and of the Chinese Song (960–1279) and Yuan (1279–1368) periods. His most typical and most respected works include the delicate and detailed Kyoto Dancing Girl (1920; Tokyo, N. Mus.), the illusionistic Dance of the Flames (1924) and the decorative Camellia Surrounded by its Fallen Blossoms (1929; both Tokyo, Yamatane Mus. A.).
