Born in Tokuyama in Bunsei 3. Second son of sword smith Miyoshi Yojibei.

At the age of 15, he studied under Hara Bunki, who was a pupil of Tani Buncho, and at 18, he entered the school of Oda Kaisen in Kyoto. He excelled in landscape and flower-and-bird paintings.
After moving to Hagi, he took the name Oba from the temple priest Oba of Doshun-ji, and called himself Oba Gakusen. He lived a simple life throughout his life, and was a close friend of Daitoku-ji temple abbot and master Zesei Sohan. He also went by the name Tanpakuan Mutoku and was deeply devoted to Buddhism.
