After exhibiting a powerful depiction of the Yarigatake mountain range titled "Mountain" at the 13th Nitten exhibition in 1957, he devoted himself entirely to mountain landscape painting. He became a member of the Japan Mountain Landscape Painting Association in 1960 and made numerous sketching trips to Europe, India, and the Himalayas. In 1993, he was named an honorary member of the Kofu-kai and received the Ashikaga Citizens' Cultural Merit Award.
