Soga Shohaku

Soga Shohaku (1730 - 1781) was active/lived in Japan.  Soga Shohaku is known for Monochrome ink painting on screens about Chinese legends.

Soga Shohaku (????) (1730–1781) was a Japanese painter of the Edo period. Shohaku distinguished himself from his contemporaries by preferring the brush style of the Muromachi period, an aesthetic that was already passé 150 years before his birth.

Shohaku's birth name was Miura Sakonjiro. His family was wealthy, but all of his immediate family members died before he reached the age of 18.

As a young man, he was a student of Takada Keiho of the prominent Kano School, which drew upon Chinese techniques and subject matters. His disillusionment with the school led him to appreciate the works of Muromachi era painter Soga Jasoku.

He began to use the earlier style of brushstroke, painting mostly monochromes, despite the fact it had become unfashionable.
