Though he started with professional beginnings—making a living after his father’s death by selling paintings on fans—he surrounded himself with the members of the literati community, and never stopped absorbing stylistic influences from diverse sources throughout his career. As a result, his style is unique and aesthetically definitive of nanga—the name given to Japanese literati painting. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1961.47/1961.47_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1961.47/1961.47_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1961.47/1961.47_full.tif
