 This new style, however, gained little support from Shunsō's contemporaries and was severely criticized by art critics.Shunsō came to realize that while "moro-tai" was effective in depicting such scenes as morning mist and evening glow, its color gradation technique proved good only for those limited motifs.Shunsō began integrating his original "moro-tai" with line drawing to overcome this disadvantage, and his later works exhibit a new style which came to typify the "Nihonga" genre, distinguishing it from the more restrictive styles of traditional Japanese-style painting.
