Shoun joined Toyo-Do as a member of the painting department. From then on, he began to draw lithograph illustrations for Fuzoku-Gaho under the name "Yamamoto Shokoku" in every issue. While he was active in the publishing culture, mainly through his work for the magazine "Fuzoku-Gaho," he also frequently participated in exhibitions as a Japanese-style painter. One of Shoun's representative works is the "Imasugata (Lady in Modern Style)" series of beauty paintings published by Daikokuya Heikichi from 1906 to 1909. In "Imasugata (Lady in Modern Style)," he applied the highest techniques and created an ambitious work with a new personality different from the Utagawa School.
