A hyperactive yet genuine art enthusiast, Hishida Shunsou's teacher was the kind of guy who showed up everywhere—especially wherever Mori Ougai was, usually with a drink in hand.

Despite the scattered energy, he clearly cared about nurturing artistic talent and wasn't afraid to be deeply involved in his students' lives.
