He learned Western painting from Italian artist Fontanesi, opened a research institute in Kanda, and founded the Meiji Bijutsukai with Hosui Yamamoto and others. After that, he went to study in France and became a driving force in Western art in Japan. After returning to Japan, he became a principal professor at the Kyoto High School of Arts and Crafts.
