In 1924, he was accepted by the Normal Education Division in Painting of the Tokyo School of Fine Arts together with Tan Teng-pho, and received instruction from Tanabe Itaru.
Afterwards, his works were selected several times for the Teiten and the Ministry of Education Art Exhibition (Shin Bunten).
During the 1950s and 1960s, his paintings demonstrated a bold use of color, as he began using bright and saturated reds, greens, yellows, and blues in his work.
His works from later years make use of bolder lines along with vivid and florid colors, demonstrating an unrestrained style.
Representative works from this style include: Yeliu Landscape (1972), Lion Dance (1973), Pintung Harbor (1975).
