explanation: Born in 1835 in a painter family of Tokyo. He studied at Kano school. Along with Kano Hogai, he introduced western style painting into Kano school but during Meiji revolution, he became extremely poor due to a lack of support for Japanese painting. After having won silver medals in a painting contest in 1879, he got a recognition of Okakura Tenshin. He became a professor at Tokyo bijutsu gakko in 1889 and formed new Japanese painters such as Yokoyama Taikan and Kawai Gyokudo. He died in 1908.
