Features: Terms of great historical significance in Japanese art history, such as Tang painting and Han art, as well as the art schools and styles they represent, have always been a focal point of attention for Japanese artists. Since Chinese art has served as a source of nourishment and inspiration for Japanese artists, the tradition of Chinese art has, to some extent, formed the foundation of Japanese art. This shared cultural origin makes the issues faced by Japanese artists, as well as their attempts and efforts to address them, quite similar to those of their Chinese counterparts. Therefore, clarifying the influence of foreign art (including modern Western painting) on Japanese painting is not only a prerequisite for understanding Japanese art but also a key thread in the discussion of this book. The book provides a detailed introduction to the characteristics, styles, basic forms, inheritance, schematic types, artistic origins, innovations, and development of Japanese painting throughout history.
