Kawahara Keiga was a late Edo period Japanese painter of objects, social scenes and portraits at the Dutch Factory of Dejima, at Edo and Nagasaki. His works can be found among others. Kawahara was born in Nagasaki as the son of the painter Kawahara Kozan, he studied with the painter Yūshi Ishizaki. With special permission from the Japanese government, Kawahara worked as a painter at the Dutch factory of Dejima, from 1811 to 1842. At the request of successive directors at Dejima, Kawahara documented many aspects of life of Japan in general and at Dejima in particular. From 1823 to 1829 Kawahara drew and coloured detailed images of Japanese flora and fauna, at the behest of Dejima commander and botanist Philipp Franz von Siebold, he accompanied Siebold during his visit to the court at Edo, documented many objects and court scenes, etcetera. In 1829 he was imprisoned by the Tokugawa shogunate for involvement in a spying incident of Siebold, subsequently expelled from Japan. In 1842, Kawahara was punished again, now for depicting the harbor of Nagasaki with family crests showing and therefore was dismissed from Nagasaki.
In 1846 he put his signature on five ceiling paintings in the main hall of the Buddhist temple Wakimisaki Kannon. In 1825 Carl Hubert de Villeneuve had come to Dejima to teach Kawahara the fundamentals of Western painting techniques; as a result, Keiga introduced Western techniques in traditional Japanese painting. Kawahara's images have been fundamental for biological publications by Coenraad Jacob Temminck and Hermann Schlegel. Kawahara used watercolor-coloured pencil drawing on paper for his biological work. For other works he painted on silk and wood, like his paintings on the ceilings of several temples in Japan.
