Also written ‘υ–”h and ‘ξŠΤ”h. One of the schools of *ebusshi ŠG•§Žt, priest-painters specializing in Buddhist subjects, active during the Kamakura period. Originally Takuma Shouga ‘Ÿ‰κ(fl.ca.1168-1209) was thought to be the founder of this school, but now it is believed that his father, Tametoo ˆΧ‰“ (fl.ca.1132-74), should be credited with that position. Tametou was appointed magistrate of Buzen –L‘O (current-day Fukuoka prefecture), but his painting skills allowed him to give up his post and enter the priesthood. It was then that he began to use the name Shouchi Ÿ’q and was given the title of houin –@ˆσ (see *soui ‘mˆΚ). It is recorded that Tametou painted at Daidenpouin ‘ε“`–@‰@ on Mt. Kouya ‚–μ in 1132, for a memorial service of a Buddhist nun from the imperial family in 1174, and that he painted Song style Buddhist subjects for the Shingon ^ŒΎ and Tendai “V‘δ sects. Among his many followers were his sons Shouga and Tamehisa ˆΧ‹v (fl.ca.1184/5), Shunga r‰κ (fl.ca.1201-31) and Ryouga —Η‰κ (fl.ca.1202-17). Shouga was closely connected with the famous priests Myoue –ΎŒb and Jounin ¬”E at Kouzanji ‚ŽRŽ›, and with two other Kyoto temples, Jingoji _ŒμŽ› and Touji “ŒŽ›. He is credited with painting the *juuniten \“ρ“V screens (1191) at Jingoji and the *Ryoukai mandara —ΌŠE™ΦδΆ—… at Touji. The school seems to have died out in the late 14c. Artists of the Takuma school painted in a new style which employed vigorous ink lines, varying in width, cool color tones and thin layers of paint; a style notably different from the bright colors and thick pigments popular with the contemporary *Koseha ‹¨”h artists.
