He attended a school that taught western-style painting, under the tutelage of Soyama Yukihiko (曽山幸彦, 1860–1892).〔(Brief biography ) @ Floating World Gallery.〕 In 1891, he became a member of the "Meiji Bijutsu-kai" (Fine Arts Society) and, after Soyama's premature death, worked with Horie Masaaki (堀江正章, 1852–1932), completing his studies in 1893.〔 That same year, he came under the influence of Kuroda Seiki and Kume Keiichiro, who had just returned from France.〔 They introduced him the Barbizon school and the concept of plein-air painting. In 1896, he became an Assistant Professor of Yōga art at the Tōkyō Bijutsu Gakkō.
