高橋竹年 Takahashi Chikunen (1887-1967) 
He was a Japanese painter from Hirosaki known for elegant animal and bird‑and‑flower works that combine classical Maruyama–Shijō refinement with lively, closely observed natural detail. Trained under Nomura Bunkyo in Tokyo, he strengthened his style through persistent animal sketching at Ueno Zoo, giving his tigers, monkeys, and small birds a vivid sense of movement and structure. After relocating to Osaka in the early Taishō era, he exhibited widely and received major shrine commissions, later earning the rank of Hōkyō. Following the war he returned to Hirosaki, becoming a central figure in the regional art scene and receiving the Aomori Prefecture Cultural Award in 1961. His works remain valued for their poised brushwork and the quiet presence of the animals he portrayed.
