He was a student and adopted son of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, and also studied with Ogata Gekkö. Although Kogyo sometimes painted other subjects, most of his career centered around pictures of Japanese noh theatre, either as large-scale paintings or colored woodblock prints. Many of the latter were published in series and sold as multi-volume sets. Some sets, such as Nögaku zue, have been preserved as albums in their original bindings, including accordion-style bindings known as orihon, while other sets such as Noga taikan, were issued in sewn bindings known as yamato toji.Unlike most ukiyo-e prints, his works have an almost painterly quality and use gold and silver for the Noh costume embellishments. Kogyo's woodblock prints required very skilled engravers and printers to produce. Kogyo died in Tokyo at the age of 58.
