This painting shows rocks, trees, and mountains in a simple style. It was likely made by copying a master's work. The artist was a pupil of a famous painter, which is why the style looks familiar. The pupil, Aoki Shukuya, learned from Ikeno Taiga, a well-known artist. This learning process was traditional in Japan, where young painters copied masters to learn techniques. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of Ikeno Taiga, another Japanese artist.
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.
