Hirose Toho was originally from Kochi in Shikoku. A highly respected Nihonga artist in the early 20th century, he excelled in bird and flower paintings. He originally studied nanga painting under Amano Soseki, at which time he used the painting name Enseki. In 1898, he moved to Tokyo and began studying under Araki Kampo. He exhibited at the Bunten on six occasions and some of those paintings were purchased by the Imperial Household. He exhibited at the Teiten in 1927 and 1929 when he was granted mukansa or non-vetted status. He served as a juror for the Teiten exhibition in 1928. He also exhibited with other groups, including the Nihon Bijutsu Kyokai and was a member of the Nihongakai. He also taught at the Tokyo Girls University and Tokyo Institute of Technology.
