Also written υh and ξΤh. One of the schools of *ebusshi G§t, priest-painters specializing in Buddhist subjects, active during the Kamakura period. Originally Takuma Shouga ξκ(fl.ca.1168-1209) was thought to be the founder of this school, but now it is believed that his father, Tametoo Χ (fl.ca.1132-74), should be credited with that position. Tametou was appointed magistrate of Buzen LO (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 q and was given the title of houin @σ (see *soui mΚ). 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 ^Ύ and Tendai Vδ sects. Among his many followers were his sons Shouga and Tamehisa Χv (fl.ca.1184/5), Shunga rκ (fl.ca.1201-31) and Ryouga Ηκ (fl.ca.1202-17). Shouga was closely connected with the famous priests Myoue Ύb and Jounin ¬E at Kouzanji R, and with two other Kyoto temples, Jingoji _μ and Touji . He is credited with painting the *juuniten \ρV screens (1191) at Jingoji and the *Ryoukai mandara ΌEΦδΆ 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. | ||||||
