A Buddhist priest early in his life, he left that life after his temple burned down, and turned to ''[[shugendo|shûgendô]]'', traveling and climbing mountains as a form of religious practice.
He later studied under Yosa Buson, and became prolific as a literati painter, as well as in a number of other arts.
