'''Furuyama Moromasa''' (Japanese: 古山師政, ) was a Japanese [[ukiyo-e]] painter, active throughout much of the 18th century.
==Life and works==
Few details of his life have survived. He was apparently born in Edo (Tokyo) in 1688. He may have been the son of the artist Furuyama Morishige, who established the Furuyama School. Some sources say he studied with [[Hishikawa Moronobu]], but given the fact that he died in 1694, it was more likely one of his followers.
He produced what, in Europe, would be referred to as [[Genre art|genre]] scenes from ordinary life, sporting contests, activities in the [[Yoshiwara]] district and similar subjects. He was one of the first Japanese artists to use [[linear perspective]]. This was likely done under the influence of the Chinese [[megane-e]], which were introduced around 1758. This technique was first used to show interiors, such as tea houses.
His most famous work is a scroll depicting the everyday life of a street in Edo, measuring 30 meters (app.98 feet) in length.
He was active until approximately 1772 and wrote several texts on the subject of engraving.
