Born in Tokyo in 1898. As a child, he began
working at a print shop as a printer and continued to do so while
studying under Kiyokata KABURAKI when he was 13. He later worked on
illustrations and woodblock prints. He was invited to exhibit at the
Bunten exhibition when he was only 17. After being invited to the Tokyo
Expo Peace Commemoration in 1922, he painted portraits of beautiful
women in a sweet, sensual style. While taking active part in the Teiten

established a strong position in beautiful portraits of women with his
exceptionally expressive and refined depiction.
