Born as the 2nd son of the 3rd generation Yohei and studied techniques from his father. Also studied Japanese painting techniques under Tanomura Shosai.
Carried on the family business upon the passing of his father and became the 4th generation Seifu Yohei. Favored the tasteful and had a range of work with elegance. Received high praise and did not disgrace the reputation of his noble family, but lost most of the assets that he had amassed to that point due to the New Yen Conversion Policy (demonetization of old currency to prevent inflation) in 1946 after World War II and was driven to discontinue his business, which the 5th generation later restored.
His nephew is Shinkai Kanzan.
