Hyakusui was born in Akita-ken, son of Hirafuku Suian. He studied under Kawabata Gyokushô (1842-1913). After his graduation he became professor at the Tokyo school of fine arts. He was a frequent exhibitor and prizewinner at the Nihon Bijutsu Kyôkai, the Bunten and the Teiten. In 1900, with Fukui Kôtei (1856-1938) and Yûki Somei (1875-1957), they established the Museikai. He was a member of the Imperial Fine Arts Academy and of Kinreisha, which he helped establish in 1917.
