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 Dōmoto. 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
In 1966 the artist established Domoto Museum of Fine Arts to display his works of art by his design
