(1892–1974)
Nihonga painter from Oita Prefecture. Fukuda graduated from the Kyoto City School of Arts and Crafts and continued his studies at the Kyoto Municipal School of Painting. His early works rely on a naturalist approach with a bold sense of color. He would later move towards lighter tones, which together with his strong sense of composition garnered him a central position in the art world. Together with Nakamura Gakuryō, Makino Torao and others he co–founded the Rikuchō-kai art association. A member of the Japan Art Academy, Fukuda served as an adviser to the Nitten exhibitions and a professor at the Kyoto Municipal School of Painting. In 1961 he was designated Honorary Citizen of Oita, Person of Cultural Merit, and receiver of the Order of Culture.
