Geiami

Shingei (真芸), also called Geiami (芸阿弥) or Shingei Geiami (真芸芸阿弥) (1431–1485) was a Japanese painter and cultural figure during the Muromachi period in the service of the Ashikaga shōgunate. Born into a family of renowned artists and curators known as the Ami family, he succeeded his father Nōami (Shinno) as curator of the Ashikaga art collection and developed his own career as a painter. He is known for his yamato-e paintings executed in Sumi-e (ink wash) style, continuing the tradition of Tenshō Shūbun. Together with his father and his son Sōami, he was part of the group referred to as the San-Ami ("Three Amis").
