The teacher's style is visible in the paintings, showing the artist's progress. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of the artist who taught 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.
