Yūhi's art was esteemed by the Japanese public, who regarded his paintings as a worthy native substitute for Chinese works, which were hard to find in Japan. Later, he went on to teach other artists, such as Sō Shiseki, Mori Ransai (森 蘭斎) and Kakutei (鶴亭). His students would then spread this "Nagasaki style" of art to major cities like Edo, Osaka and Kyoto.
