Ue-Gukei painted his landcapes with coarse and disordered strokes. This style derive from the "untrammelled style", as we can see in "Village in Clearing Mist" of Ying Yu-chein. On the other hand, in his landscapes painted with vigorous strokes, Gukei did not attempt to describe a rationalized view of nature, but the Zen-truth of nature. It is interesting to compare this style of painting with "Shigajiku, " the special style of the vertical scroll. This is painted with full-sketchy touches representing the lives of the Zen monks of the same period. Compared to Gukei, this style depicts distant open space : the monks enjoyed their lives in this empty space. Gukei's style of rough strokes is called "Genshutsu" (Vision). The style of "Shigajiku" with the sketchy use of brush is named "Keiyo" (Representation). Both terms can be found in the Kuge-shu of the 14th century. From these differences we can conclude that there were two distinct styles of landscape at the end of the 14th century.
