Tôhaku was born at Nanao in [[Noto province]], and adopted into a Hasegawa family of cloth-dyers. After painting a number of Buddhist-influenced works in his native Noto, and the death of his adoptive parents, he moved to Kyoto around [[1571]] and took up residence at Kyôgôin, a sub-temple of [[Honpoji|Honpôji]].

While in Kyoto, he studied under [[Kano Shoei|Kanô Shôei]], head of the [[Kanô school]] of painting, and came to know the great tea master [[Sen no Rikyu|Sen no Rikyû]], by whose introduction he was granted access to the collection of paintings at [[Daitokuji]]. The Daitokuji collection included a number of works by Japanese masters of the [[Muromachi period]], as well as those of Chinese painters of the Song and Yuan dynasties. Works by Mu Qi, whose triptych of a crane, a monkey, and a white-robed [[Kannon]] is particularly famous, are noted as being especially influential in Tôhaku's works.
