He also came under the influence of Nanga (Literati Painting) as well as of Yamato-e (traditional Japanese painting). He founded a new school of painting called Nanboku goitsu, or the South and East school, and he introduced the use of Western perspective, a technique further refined by his most famous pupil, Watanabe Kazan.
