Shûtoku was a disciple of Sesshû (1420-1506?). A painter-monk, he is said to have used the style name, Ikei, and to have inherited his residence, Unkokuken, after the death of Sesshû. His dates are not certain, but from his extant works associated with Senrin Sôkei (1478-1543), the 85th abbot of Daitokuji, who died in 1543 (Tenmon 12), we can deduce the approximate period when he has active.
The painting in question attempts to follow the style of Sesshû's famous Broken-Ink Landscape (Haboku Sansuizu, Tokyo National Museum), which effectively exploits the nuance of ink saturation and shading, skillfully representing a humid atmosphere. Along with the identifying seal, "Shûtoku," the painting also contains the inscription, "painted by Ikei." However, whether this painting is, in fact, in Shûtoku's hand or not is uncertain.
