Bairei was a pupil in Kyoto of the Maruyama-Shijo painter Raisho; then, at 27, of the Shijo-school artist Bunin. The Shijo school, also called Maruyama school, was a Japanese school of naturalistic painting that was founded in the late 18th century by Maruyama Masataka and was revived for woodblock prints during the Meiji by Bairei. Barei's "Album of 100 Birds" was published by Okura Magohei in three volumes in 1891, 1892, and 1896, respectively.
