He has a rebellious spirit that he was caught in a writing incident in 1870, and has left many caricatures and caricatures. Although following the Kano school, he greedily adopted other schools and painting methods, and called himself a "painting demon."
Born in 1831 in Furukawaishi-cho, Shimousa (currently 2-chome, Chuo-cho, Koga-shi, Ibaraki) as the second son of Tokiyo Kawanabe. My father was born to the second son of Kameya, a rice dealer in Koga, and was adopted by Nobumasa Kawanabe, a feudal lord of Koga. In the 3rd year of Tenpo (1832), he went to Edo, bought a stock of concentric fire extinguishing of the shogunate, lived in the fire extinguishing mansion of Hongo Ochanomizu (currently Hongo 3-chome), and gave his surname Kai. At the same time, the whole family is out in Edo. His childhood name is Shuzaburo, and he succeeded Mr. Kawanabe. My brother had Naojiro. In the 4th year of Tenpo (1833), Shuzaburo went to the Taguchi family, a relative of Tatebayashi, with his mother. At this time, Shuzaburo made a sketch of a frog for the first time.
