Was an American painter of Japanese birth.

In 1927 he returned to Japan, where he exhibited widely.In 1950 he moved to New York City, where he produced abstract paintings.

His paintings from the 1950s reveal subtle changes in the natural world through the use of imagery constructed with delicate, sensitive colour tonalities, floating within the compositional space. In 1953 he began to exhibit his abstract expressionist paintings with the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York City.
