Born into a family of renowned artists and curators (Ami family), he succeeded his father Shinno (Nōami) as the curator of the Ashikaga art collection and became a painter in his own right.^[1] He is known for his yamato-e paintings in Sumi-e style, following the tradition of Tenshō Shūbun. Geiami and his brother Soami were known as the three-ami's or San-Ami's when with their father.
