Hasegawa Tōhaku (1539–1610) was one of the most iconic painters of his time, which was marked by both devastating civil war and vigorous artistic activity. In this work, he avoided the prominent outlines typical of ink painting. Instead, he utilized rough brushwork and delicate gradations to depict windswept pines and hazy light seeping through the mist. Tōhaku created this atmospheric scenery through his mastery of Chinese-style ink painting, breathing new life into the traditional subject of a pine forest.
