Postscript from “Reverberations of Taiga” is a 1910 by Aoki Shukuya, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a scene from Japan's past. It's a copy of a work by Ike Taiga, made by his student Aoki Shukuya. The copy is faithful, which is interesting because it shows how artists learned from each other back then. You can learn more about the style of this painting by looking at the work of artist: Aoki Shukuya (Japanese, d. 1802)
Kusakabe Meikaku, one of the three most famous Japanese calligraphers of his time, provided a title leaf, CMA 1979.73.1.1 , for a pair of albums of paintings after Ike Taiga (池大雅) (1723–1776) by his student Aoki Shukuya (青木夙夜) (died 1802). Murata Kōkoku, a well-traveled painter with an extensive network of colleagues in China and Japan, wrote a postscript for the albums in which he explained that the paintings are faithful copies after Taiga’s images of rocks, mountains, residences, and so forth. These two artists respectfully documented Shukuya’s work more than 100 years after his death.
