Graduated in 1890, in 1898 he participated in the founding of Nihon Bijutsuin, the Japanese Institute of Fine Arts, with Yokoyama Taikan and other artists determined to renew Japanese painting. Shunso experimented with morotai, or "vague style", which reduced contours in favor of washes, gradations and misty atmospheres in 1898. Shunso experimented with morotai, or "vague style", which reduced contours in favor of washes, gradations and misty atmospheres. Criticized first for its lack of sharpness, this method allows a new depth and a dialogue with Western painting without abandoning ink, mineral pigments and formats japanese. Travels to India, Europe and the United States with Taikan broaden his thinking. In Wang Zhaojun and Bodhisattva Kenshu, figure, space and tone seek modern gravity. After an eye disease linked to nephritis, Shunso returned to painting with Fallen Leaves in 1909: spaced trunks, a floor covered with leaves and almost no horizon created a radical silence. Black cat, presented in 1910, combines animal realism and decorative flatness inspired by Rinpa. Died at thirty-six in 1910, combines animal realism and decorative flatness inspired by Rinpa.
