Artwork

Japanese artwork has a long history, beginning with it's indigenous peoples, later heavily influenced by China, and finally developing its own unique traditions.

One popular form is the painted folding screen (byobu), with two, four, or six panels, often the focal point of a room, or used as a background piece. The subject matter is varied, but calligraphy and the traditional arts, are often represented.
