This painting shows rocks, trees, and mountains in a simple style. It was made by Aoki Shukuya, a Japanese artist. The artist learned from a master painter, which was a common way to study art in Japan at the time - they would copy their teacher's work to learn techniques. The teacher, Ikeno Taiga, was a famous artist in Kyoto. Shukuya's work reflects Taiga's style, which is evident in these sketches. You can learn more about the artist who taught Shukuya, Ikeno Taiga, was not the choice, instead look at the technique: chiaroscuro.
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.
