Formerly the Imperial capital of Japan for more
than one thousand years, Kyoto is known as the
thousand-year capital. It has a population close
to 1.5 million. Insho Domoto (1891 - 1975) was a
Japanese artist. His birth name was Sannosuke
Domoto. He was a recipient of the Order of
Culture in 1961. Insho cultivated a strong
interest in history, aesthetic theory, and
Western art from the Old Masters to Cubism and
Kandinsky. He started Nihonga, but later turned
to oil paintings including religious artworks. By
the work of mural painting of church he was
awarded the "Order of St. Sylvester" from Curia
Romana in 1963. Then after the end of the 1950s
he started the Nihonga Abstract Paintings, also
he painted them on old Kyoto temples' sliding
door Fusuma
