However, he managed to emerge from the great Japanese artist's shadow and establish his own style. One can see from his delicate, almost watercolor-like prints that his artistic career began with decorating porcelain with delicate paintings. Equally delicate and fragile are his woodblock prints, which mainly have motifs of Japanese landscapes, simple people and famous Japanese rulers. Beautiful women, Kabuki actors and scenes from the history and folklore of Japan are typical for the prints of the Japanese artist. They are attributed to the style of ukiyo-e and were very popular during Ogata Gekkō's lifetime. To this day, the original works enjoy great popularity. He was one of the first artists in Japan who also had a large international audience and whose works enjoyed and still enjoy great popularity outside Japan. What is special about Ogata Gekkō is that he is self-taught and taught himself the craft. This is probably where his incomparably individual style comes from, setting him apart from other artists of his time. Nevertheless, he was strongly inspired by woodblock artists such as Kikuchi Yōsai and Hokusai. Similar to the latter, he also produced a series of depictions of Mount Fuji that includes hundreds of prints. The series depicts the sacred mountain in a wide variety of perspectives and lighting moods. Studies such as these shaped Ogata Gekkō's style enormously.
Furthermore, the artist was known for his depiction of the first Japan-China War, which occurred between 1894-1895. In the absence of photography, the artist recorded the events in the form of woodblock prints, which provided insights into the course of the clashes with China. This resulted in some of his most famous prints, which were printed in history books and the magazines of the time. As a result, Ogata Gekkō's work gained enormous fame and popularity during his lifetime. The Japanese artist's prints all appear unusually delicate and detailed, whether they were depictions of beautiful women, Japanese landscapes, traditional folklore, or historical events such as the depiction of the first war between China and Japan. The woodblock prints come in muted colors that were applied almost permeably to the printing block. This makes them look almost like watercolors. The contours, however, are clearly visible. Figures and landscape details in the foreground are usually more vivid than the backgrounds and details in the distance, which often appear more in delicate colors. Another typical feature of the Japanese master's prints is that the paper shows through and is never completely printed. This gives the woodblock prints a certain lightness and sketchiness.
