Okakura Kakuzō
Gahō was invited in 1884, by Okakura Kakuzō, to become the chief professor of painting at the "Tōkyō Bijutsu Gakkō" (東京美術学校, now the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music) which would open five years later. In 1898, Gahō joined Okakura in leaving the Bijutsu Gakkō, and founding the Japan Fine Arts Academy (日本美術院, "Nihon Bijutsuin"). He would teach there until his death in 1908.
