Shikai was born in Tsukushi, Fukuoka prefecture. He was a pupil of Yoshitsugu Haizan (# 13), but his style is often compared to that of Tanomura Chikuden (1777-1835).
Irie Shikai is generally considered to have belonged to the group of painters that is now often refered to as "New Nanga". A better-known representative is his contemporary Fukuda Kodôjin (1865-1944). The New Nanga painters did not submit paintings to the well-known government exhibitions, but went their own individual ways.
