Reverberations of Taiga, Volume 1 (leaf 34) is a 1704 by Aoki Shukuya, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows rocks, trees, and mountains in simple ink lines. It was created by Aoki Shukuya, a Japanese artist. The artist learned from a master, which was a common way to study art in Japan - young artists copied their teacher's work to learn techniques. The teacher's style often influenced the student's work, and that's what happened here. Shukuya's teacher, Ikeno Taiga, was a famous artist in Kyoto, and his style is visible in these sketches. You can learn more about the style of Ikeno Taiga, the artist who taught 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.
