Born in Sakai City, Osaka, Chikuunsai II studied under his father, Chikuunsai I (1877–1937), from an early age. Using the name Shochikuunsai (“Little Chikuunsai”) from 1925, he first showed his work at the Teiten national fine arts exhibition in 1931. Following the death of Chikuunsai I in 1937, Chikuunsai II succeeded to the family name and began to exhibit frequently both domestically and internationally. He was the leading exponent of bamboo in the Kansai region during his lifetime and played an important part in shepherding the art form through wartime disruption and into the post-war world of department-store exhibitions and international exposure. Chikuunsai II worked in many styles and techniques.
