Based on the Shinkon style (tone of poems seen in "New Collection of Ancient and Modern Japanese poetry") learned from Shotetsu, Shinkei's work was unique in the way that he placed the importance on close examination of poem subjects and self-preoccupation in poem themes, exhibiting his refined senses in his 'hieyasetaru' (simple and natural) poem style.
