Genji won the art contest between he and To no Chujo. Both Genji and To no Chujo are skilled artists, but Genji's style is classic while To no Chujo's is more modern. Genji's painting depicted the Suma coast, and it was Genji's classic style that appealed to the court and those judging the contest.
