After graduating from the Tokyo School of Fine Arts in 1931, Bunji Miura and several of his classmates (including Eizo Kato, Kaii Higashiyama, Shingo Yamada and others) presented their works at an exhibition of the Shino Co. In 1932, he was the winner of the Inten Exhibition. Towards the end of World War II, he was evacuated to his hometown Suwon-cho (now Agano) in the Niigata prefecture. From 1946 until his retirement in 1972, he worked as a teacher at various schools in the prefecture. His hanging scroll Sukī shows two children skiing.
