He first learned lacquer from his father, and in 1852 he became a disciple of Nakajima Raisho, learning the Maruyama school. He also studied Chinese classics, Japanese classics, and art theory under Oda Kaisen. In 1866 he moved to Edo, where he studied Western painting for a time, drawing for peeping glasses, rough sketches, newspaper supplements, and more. He won awards at the Domestic Industrial Exposition and the Domestic Painting Exhibition. When the Tokyo School of Fine Arts (Tokyo University of the Arts) was founded, he was recognized by Tenshin and others, and was hired by the school in 1896, becoming a professor in 1898, a position he held until 1900.

He incorporated realism from Western painting into the Maruyama school, and in his later years he also studied literati painting. In 1929 he became an Imperial Household Artist, and in 1942 he opened the Kawabata Art School. He also devoted himself to protecting ancient art, becoming a temporary inspector for the National Treasure Inspection Bureau in 1942, and a member of the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Shrines and Temples in 1955, and was active in a wide range of fields as a leading figure in the art world.
