Starting in 1877, his work was published in newspapers and magazines. His portraits of Kabuki actors were well known.[1]
His war prints (戦争絵, sensō-e), in triptych format are considered to be important historical documents. This work documents Japan's participation in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War.[1]
