Patty got it right!............ the name of the Japanese female artist is Shoen Uemura 1875-1949.
You can read more about her here:

Her clear focus on the emotion of the woman in the portrait made me wonder at the question; if it is a typical women thing to do so, or if it was just Shoen that cultivated a certain interest.
Kanoh HOHGAI, the man, tend to have more interest in emphasizing the technical side of making pictures. The Panda head is brilliant, but sort of override that of the sitter. I do like the picture, but then again....I'm only a man
Two other from them, women first.
