Helen Hyde was born in New York and had learned paintings from Raphael Collin and Félix Régamey. And later, she started creating woodblock printing works after affected by Ernest Francisco Fenollosa. She has also learned from Kano Tomonobu, a Japanese-painting painter.
In 1900, she created the woodblock work "Holy mother of Japan" and later created a lot of printing works.
From 1908, she employed engravers and printers for creating her own works, and directed print works at the atelier in Akasaka.
We can see a warm gaze of the western woman's eyes against Japanese cultures. She had spent 10 years in Japan.
