Under his father's influence, Toshi began to learn painting at age 3 and woodblock printing at age 13. In 1925-29 he studied oil painting at Taiheiyo Art School and in 1929 traveled with his father to India and Southeast Asia making sketches for future prints.

In 1980, Toshi opened the Miasa Cultural Center in Nagano Prefecture w he taught students from many countries, including Carol Jessen, Karyn Young and Ryusei Okamoto.
