Biography

Takahashi was born in Edo as the eldest son of a samurai retainer of the Sano domain in Shimotsuke Province, present-day Tochigi Prefecture. He initially studied in the Kano school, but during the Ka’ei era (1848–1854), he turned to Western-style painting after seeing Western-made lithographs. According to one account, this occurred in Bunkyu 1–2 (1861–62). In 1862, he entered the painting section of the Bansho Shirabesho, or Shogunal Institute for Studying Western Learning, where he studied under Kawakami Tōgai; meanwhile, in 1866, he also studied under Charles Wirgman. In 1873, he established his private art academy, Tenkairo, where he taught the next generation of artists. He also held monthly exhibitions, showing such representative works as “Oiran” and “Salmon.” From 1880 to the following year, he created oil paintings to be dedicated to Kotohira Shrine. Later, he produced a series of landscapes depicting the Tohoku region, including “Yamagata Cityscape.” He was a pioneer of modern Japanese Western-style painting who also devoted himself to the dissemination of art through publishing art magazines and petitioning for the establishment of art museums.
