出生於東京都上野。 1904年在白馬會畫展上看到藤島武二的《蝴蝶》深受感動,決定成為一名西洋畫家。 1906年參加東京美術學校西畫科入學考試進入金工科。 畢業後再次進入西畫系但因病退學。 1910年,還是學生的他就入選了第四屆文展展,並於1913年舉辦了首次個展。 1926年他在聖德太子表彰展上展出《藥草園》,捲土重來,其細膩的描繪贏得了好評。 1935年他的筆觸變得更加粗獷,形成了筆觸濃烈、色彩對比強烈、形式簡單的獨特畫風。 1959年成為日本藝術院院士,1965年榮獲文化勳章。

Born in Ueno, Tokyo. In 1904, he was deeply touched by Fujishima Takeji\'s Butterfly at the Hakkaikai exhibition and decided to become a Western painter. In 1906, he took the entrance examination for the Western Painting Department of the Tokyo Fine Arts School and entered the Gold Work Department. After graduation, he re-entered the Western Painting Department but dropped out due to illness. In 1910, while still a student, he was selected for the Fourth Cultural Exhibition and held his first solo exhibition in 1913. In 1926 he made a comeback by exhibiting The Herb Garden at the Prince Sainte-Thérèse Commendation Exhibition, winning acclaim for its delicate depiction. In 1935, his brushwork became even more bold, resulting in a unique style of painting with strong brushwork, strong colour contrasts and simple forms. He became a member of the Japan Art Academy in 1959 and was awarded the Order of Culture in 1965.
