Ishikawa's training and instruction took deep root in his students. Even today, the most moving element in the works of the older painters is their pure and evocative love of the countryside-- the washerwomen on the riverbanks by Li Shih-ch'iao, the city streets of Lan Yin-ting, or the aborigine folk scenes of Yen Shui-lung--which strikes a sympathetic chord with viewers at once.
石川欽一郎的教導及訓練根深柢固，直到今天，前輩畫家作品中最動人的，還是那份簡樸、淳厚的鄉土之愛，像李石樵的河邊浣衣婦、藍蔭鼎的市街小巷，乃至於顏水龍的山胞風情等，都深深引人共鳴。
