Shōtei was born Ibata Kimio 井幡喜美雄 in Kyoto. He graduated from Kyoto Educational University with an art major in 1958. From 1968 to 2000 he toured several countries, including Australia, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States, to introduce the art of shodō (the Way of Calligraphy).

From the 1960s on Shōtei worked together with and taught calligraphy to many Western “action painters.” He was especially close to Sam Francis (1923–1994).

The artist, Kimio Ibata; purchased by the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 2009 (TR10709)
