Double Album of Landscape Studies after Ikeno Taiga, Volume 2 (leaf 10), Aoki Shukuya, 18, Cleveland Museum of Art: Japanese Art

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. Size: Album, closed: 28.3 x 33 cm (11 1/8 x 13 in.) Medium: pair of albums; ink, or ink and light color on paper
