Soga school

Japanese: 曾我派 - そがは

A school of painting from the Muromachi and Azuchi-Momoyama periods. The Muromachi period ink painting school, represented by the legendary painter Soga Jasoku, and the lineage of Soga Chokuan and Nichichokuan from the Momoyama period, who claimed to be its successors, are both called the Soga school, but there is some doubt about the relationship between the two. The former were painters who gathered around Ikkyu Sojun and Shinjuan at Daitokuji Temple, and are known for names such as Hyobu Bokukei, Fusen Sojo, Shosen, and Soyo, and have deep ties to the Echizen Asakura clan. The latter was from the period after the fall of the Asakura clan, but was active mainly in Sakai until the early Edo period. There was also Soga Shohaku in the Edo period, who also claimed to be a descendant of Jasoku, but there is no direct relationship between them.

室町・安土桃山時代の画派。伝説的画家曾我蛇足に代表される室町時代の水墨画派と，それを継ぐと称した桃山時代の曾我直庵，二直庵の系譜はともに曾我派と呼ばれるが，両者の関係には疑問がある。前者は大徳寺の一休宗純と真珠庵周辺に集った画家たちで，兵部墨渓，夫泉宗丈，紹仙，宗誉らの名が知られ，越前朝倉氏と関係が深い。後者は朝倉氏滅亡後の時代にあたるが，江戸時代初期まで堺を中心に活躍。なお江戸時代に曾我蕭白がいてやはり蛇足の後裔と称したが，直接の関係はない。
