However small, its members conserved Tōhaku's quiet and reserved aesthetic,
which many attribute to the influence of Sesshū as well as his contemporary and friend, Sen no Rikyū.
One of these painters was Hasegawa Tōhaku,
who was influenced by the monochrome ink paintings of the Muromachi painter Sesshū and developed his own style of Sumi-e which looked
back to the minimalism of its predecessors.
Still, the influence of Sesshū is evident in many of Tōhaku's mid to late works, such
as his famous Shōrin-zu byōbu(松林図 屏風) Pine Trees screen, which were declared a national treasure of Japan are argued to be the first paintings of their scale to depict only pine trees as subject matter.
