Aoki Shukuya<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mid-Edo Period (18th<\/sup> century)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tangible Cultural Property, designated by Yamagata Prefecture<\/p>\n\n\n\n Donated by the Homma family<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aoki Shukuya (? \u2013 1802) was a painter of the southern Chinese style who lived during the middle of the Edo period. He took the name of Y\u014d Shukuya, claiming to be a descendant of prince Buyeo Pung (Y\u014d Housh\u014d in Japanese reading) of the Mahan confederacy (later known as the ancient Korean kingdom Baekje). In his teenage years, Shukuya came under the tutelage of Ike no Taiga. He faithfully reproduced Taiga\u2019s paintings, all while developing his own style. He differentiated his work from the placid imagery of his master via a greater focus on detail. Following Taiga\u2019s passing, Shukuya erected the Taigad\u014d gallery in Higashiyama, Kyoto, helping to maintain Taiga\u2019s legacy. In his later years, he became the head of the Taigad\u014d gallery, establishing himself with the name of Taigad\u014d II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This painting, titled \u201cK\u014dteitaiy\u016b\u201d, portrays eagerly waiting at an arbor for a friend to visit, perhaps by boat. In its wide, oblong space, we can see two boats floating down a river that meanders through center frame. Shukuya created this painting with all due fealty to the style employed by his master, Taiga, and it features the serene style of penmanship Taiga was known for. Shukuya\u2019s work from this period truly reflects influence from Taiga. Indeed, this painting is known as one of Shukuya\u2019s great early works thanks to that influence. Also of note is the daintiness of the calligraphy found in both the subject matter and in Shukuya\u2019s signature and seal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aoki Shukuya Mid-Edo Period (18th century) Tangible Cultural Property, designated by Yamagata Prefecture Donat…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4146","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4146"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4146\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4152,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4146\/revisions\/4152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hommamuseum-en.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
