Japanese art

It's just a different style than Western art

Yeah have you seen the way the Japanese paint cherry blossom trees or oceans? That shit is beautiful

Id say they were ahead of their time, niggas were painting the first dank memes

Japan is a special place

Now show what the Cree were painting

"it's something"

Ok but have you seen japanese calligraphy? It's gorgeous.

The reason the Japanese paintings looked like this is because their focus on art was to capture the essence of something or someone. They actually discouraged those who could make things exactly as they were.

France's was best imo.

Japan opened it's borders in the 1850's, before then they simply didn't have the materials or technology to replicate the European masters. But if you compare Japan's textiles and pottery to Europe's at the time, Europe would hang it's head in shame. Art is more than paintings.

I say it's not bad painting, it's just a different style
