Yokoyama Matsusaburō

Yokoyama Matsusaburo (横山 松三郎) (died 1884) was a pioneering Japanese photographer, artist, lithographer and teacher.

He created what he called shashin abura-e (写真油絵) or "photographic oil-paintings" in which the paper support of a photograph was cut away and oil paints then applied to the remaining emulsion.
