Title from "Reverberations of Taiga" is a 1912 by Aoki Shukuya, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This ink painting shows a misty forest scene with tall pines and a small hut. The brushwork is loose, but the trees stand sharp against the soft background. It copies a style from Ike Taiga, a famous painter from the Edo period. The quiet detail? The artist, Aoki Shukuya, trained under Ike Taiga but added his own soft touches. The Cleveland Museum of Art owns this piece and others like it. You might like his student’s work next. Look up artist Aoki Shukuya (Japanese, d. 1802).
