It is known for its distinctive style that emphasizes natural landscapes and the use of ink and color. The school played a significant role in the development of Japanese ink painting, particularly during the Edo period. Artists from the Hasegawa School often focused on themes of nature, incorporating elements like mountains, rivers, and flora. Their works reflect a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world and are characterized by a harmonious balance between simplicity and detail.
