She became a leading artist in Japan founding an art school and displaying her art throughout the country. Seiko is notable for her established and well-recognized career during the Meiji period, as well as her reputation within the primarily male literati school. Early in her career, she changed her name from Setsuko to the gender-neutral Seiko. Her work has been characterized as "masculine" in both painting and calligraphy, which may be attributed both to the liberal lifestyle she maintained and the role of women painters at the time. Seiko was also noted for wearing masculine clothing and short hair, deliberately eschewing a feminine persona. Museum comparison: A closely related print, with similar seals, is in the collection of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Canada, object number 2009.026.004.
