Takuwa Kyo (born 1922), a self-taught oil painter, was born on July 20, 1922, in Ino Village, Yatsuka District, in what is now Izumo, Shimane Prefecture. After graduating from Tokyo Butsuri Gakko (now Tokyo University of Science), he worked at a Hitachi research laboratory and elsewhere before joining the advertising department of the Shimane Shimbun (now the San'in Chuo Shimpo). In 1972 he moved to Tamayu (now part of Matsue), where he later also took up farming. He began teaching himself oil painting in 1986. Belonging to no art group, he painted the evening scenery of Lake Shinji again and again. In 1992 he held his first solo exhibition at the Shimane Prefectural Museum, showing about 45 works, some 20 of them views of Lake Shinji at dusk. From 1993 to 2002 he submitted a large 100-go canvas of Lake Shinji at dusk to the Nitten (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition) every year. His works were also donated to public bodies, schools and companies, and he produced some 1,300 works in all.
