He was born and raised in [[Edo]], the son of a pharmacist who may have also been the proprietor of the [[Nagasaki-ya]] (a hostel for visiting [[Dutch East India Company]] agents in Edo).
He studied under [[Oyamada Tomokiyo]], and formed a writers' group called the Tanki-kai along with [[Takizawa Bakin]] and [[Yashiro Hirokata]]. He also associated and exchanged ideas with the likes of [[Ryutei Tanehiko|Ryûtei Tanehiko]] and [[Nakamura Butsuan]], and with the Tôenkai, a group which organized exhibits of historical documents. Devoting himself to study and writing, he allowed his business to fall into disarray.
