Born in Kyoto in 1875, she drew inspiration from the city’s rich cultural traditions, dedicating her career to portraying elegant and dignified women. Her paintings are characterised by graceful, simplified lines and subdued yet luminous colour palettes. She frequently depicted classical themes from "Noh" plays and historical stories, as well as everyday women from contemporary society.
