Tsuguharu Foujita (Tokyo, November 27, 1886 - Zurich, January 29, 1968) was a Japanese painter and printmaker who applied Japanese ink techniques to Western style paintings. Foujita had his first studio at 5 Rue Delambre in Montparnasse where he became the envy of everyone when he eventually made enough money to install a bathtub with hot running water. Many models came over to Foujita's place to enjoy this luxury, among them Man Ray’s very liberated lover Kiki, who boldly posed for Foujita in the nude in the outdoor courtyard. He died of cancer in Zurich, Switzerland.
