Born as the eldest son of Yoshigoro Nonaka, a plasterer who lives in Kanda Higashikonya Town. He was naturally fond of painting, and while he went to work to take over his father's work and kneaded the soil, he used a trowel for plaster to paint. The husband who went in and out who was watching it said to his father, "If you like (pictures) so much, why don't you teach me one? Excuse me, but (older) is a good child who is regrettable for craftsmen. It's not the pattern of working on the roof of the storehouse, which is rugged and fair, and that day's prime. " Admitted.

In this way, the old man who got his father's permission entered Yoshitoshi Tsukioka at the age of 14 in 1879 and studied ukiyo-e. However, in Yoshitoshi around this time, misconduct such as borrowing money and immersing himself in the Yukaku was conspicuous, and his father, who could not stand it, brought him back the following year. After that, for a living, he studied pottery painting from Yamada Yanagi, who is under the gate of Gako Suzuki, and became the chief craftsman of Satsuma Pottery Painting Factory Kamimura. He lost his father at the age of 16 and is independent by drawing pottery sketches and villa paintings.
