'''Yoshio Markino''' (real name:Heiji Makino, December 25, 1869 – October 18, 1956) was a Japanese artist and author who spent much of his life in London. He established his reputation with watercolors for the avant-garde Studio magazine and attained success with ''The Colour of London'' (1907), the book that offered, in word and picture, his outsider's response to the modern Edwardian metropolis. Three years later he recounted his British experiences in an admired autobiography aptly titled A Japanese Artist in London. Here, and in later publications, Markino offered a distinctively Japanese perspective on European life that won him recognition and fame in a Britain that was actively engaging with pro-Western Meiji Japan.
