Reverberations of Taiga, Volume 1 (leaf 4) is a 1704 by Aoki Shukuya, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows rocks, trees, and mountains in a simple style. It was made by Aoki Shukuya, a pupil of a famous artist. Shukuya's teacher, Ikeno Taiga, had a big influence on his work, and you can see this in the way he draws nature scenes. Shukuya likely copied his teacher's compositions to learn techniques. This was a common way for young artists to learn in Japan at the time. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of Aoki Shukuya.
Traditionally, young painters in Japan began their studies with an established master-painter. The master's compositions invariably became models that the apprentice copied to learn various ink and brush techniques. Shukuya was a pupil of the famous Kyoto artist Ikeno Taiga, whose style is reflected in these sketches of rocks, trees, and mountains.
