BackgroundExamples of the main styles of traditional Japanese painting with a selected bibliography can be found at Styles of Japanese Painting.
Traditional categories or genres are noted after each painter:
Japanese TextsJapanese transcriptions and translations courtesy of Daniel von Brighoff unless otherwise noted. Most of these pages contain some Chinese or Japanese text. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of the appropriate Chinese or Japanese characters. Please check East Asian Fonts/Browser Display to see if your browser already has such support in place. Access and MetadataMetadata for each piece in the collection uses the Visual Resources Association's metadata scheme. The Type and Subject elements in this implementation of the VRA scheme use Library of Congress genre and subject terms.
In all cases the metadata describes the original work, not the digital reproduction. |
