Japan, Edo period (1615–1868) / mid-1700s–1802
Reverberations of Taiga
The Cleveland Museum of Art catalogs Reverberations of Taiga as portfolio (Japan, Edo period (1615–1868) · mid-1700s–1802).
Aoki Shukuya was a top student of painter Ike Taiga (1723–1776) and took responsibility for Taiga’s stylistic legacy.
A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this portfolio as set of two albums of 36 double-leaves each; ink, or ink and light color on paper and credits Aoki Shukuya (Japanese, d. 1802).
The museum's collection notes: 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 Ike Taiga, whose style is reflected in these sketches of rocks, trees, and mountains.
