Unkoku Toryu (1804-1895) was a prominent painter during the Edo period. He founded his own school, the Unkoku School of painting, establishing his school’s style in Chugoku and the northern Kyushu region. He painted landscapes in Indian ink in the tradition of Sesshu, proclaiming his school to be the Sesshu’s direct successor. Among his pupils were the renowned Tooku Unkoku who served Terumoto Mori, Toeki Unkoku, and Toji Unkoku.

The Sesshu School, founded by Sesshu Toyo, is renowned for its distinctive approach to ink painting. Influenced by Chinese art, the school emphasizes monochrome ink (sumi-e) and bold brushwork. Sesshū, a Zen Buddhist monk and acclaimed artist, incorporated techniques from Chinese painting traditions like the Southern Song and Yuan dynasty literati styles. His landscapes are celebrated for dynamic compositions and expressive ink techniques, capturing nature's essence with simplicity and power. Sesshū's teachings and artistic philosophy passed down through generations, significantly shaping Japanese ink painting during the Muromachi period and leaving an enduring legacy in Japanese art.
