He was born into the family of a low-ranking samurai. He studied with Maruyama Okyo in Kyoto. Rosetsu's early period works are in the style of Maruyama Okyo, although critics agree that the pupil's skill quickly surpassed his master's. Finally, they had a falling out and Rosetsu left the school. After the break, he worked under the patronage of the feudal lord of Yodo and accepted commissions from several temples. His works are kept in many museums worldwide, including the Dallas Museum of Art, the Walters Art Museum, the Princeton University Art Museum, the Harvard Art Museums, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the British Museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and many more.
