This early discipline allowed her to develop her intuitive brushwork style. Her training in pencil drawing of landscapes and oil painting continued until she was seventeen. She then moved to Tokyo to study chemistry, with the intention of becoming a pharmacist. After World War II, she married an American serviceman and moved to California where she resumed her career as an artist, exhibiting widely and with success.
