Born into a family of samurai of the Omi Province Zeze Domain, he studied Chinese classics at the domain school and entered Daigaku Nanko (the predecessor to the University of Tokyo) as a domain-sponsored student in 1870 (Meiji 3). In 1876, he studied in England to study chemical physics. Four years later, he returned to Japan and became the Director of the Museum of the Faculty of Science of the University of Tokyo, and in 1882 the Director of the Preparatory School of the University of Tokyo. In 1885, he founded the Tokyo English School (later renamed Nihon Chugaku).

In the same year, he was appointed counselor and deputy director of the Specialized Educational Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Education, and resigned in March 1889. He was elected in the first general election in 1890 and became a member of the Diet, but resigned the following year in 1891. He later served as a member of the Council for Higher Education, superintendent of Kokugakuin, secretary-general of the Koten Kokyusho, president of the East Asian Common Document Academy, and member of the Education Research Association, before becoming an official advisor at the Togu Academy in 1914 and providing educational guidance to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. His lectures to the Crown Prince were later published under the title "Draft Lectures on Ethics." His main works include "The Principles of Japanese Education" (1889) and "Collection of Tendai Taoist Works" (1915).
