Funabashi Shumin (1859-after 1914) was a pupil of Uematsu Homin. He exhibited at domestic and foreign expositions and worked for the Imperial Family. He won many prizes including at the Fifth National Industrial Exhibition in 1903 and the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. He won a silver medal at the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition in 1904.
