The patterns of Yan paintings are diverse, mostly decorated with natural scenery and flowers, showing a kind of "Japanese beauty". Mountains and rivers, bird songs, vines, cherry blossoms and other things all reflect Japan's unique aesthetic taste.
The oldest painting that has survived to this day is Thirty Pieces of Cabinet collected by Ningna Temple in 9 19, from which we can clearly see tang style's influence. Since then, influenced by China in Song and Yuan Dynasties, his painting techniques have been gradually improved and his works have been constantly innovated.
The famous teachers in Muromachi era are fortunate to have Ami, Fifty Lan and so on. Most of their works are made of inkstone boxes. This is because the inkstone box can be used to hold Four Treasures of the Study-pen, ink and inkstone, which was necessary for literati at that time and also a symbol of personal cultural accomplishment. The inkstone box perfectly combines art and use. The representative work of Antu and Taoshan era is "Gao Tai Temple Map". Legend has it that Gao Tai Temple was designed and built by xiaozu Yuanzhou under the sponsorship of Konka in 1660, because Beizhengsuo sent a blessing to her late husband Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The paintings preserved internally and most of the works of this period are
It is called "Gao Tai Temple Painting". The autumn sketched inkstone box presented by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to General Wudao in Osaka City is a masterpiece of temple painting in Gao Tai. In addition, it is very rare and precious to coexist with historical and cultural buildings and decorate columns, doorframes and other places. Due to frequent business contacts with merchants in southern Manchuria during this period, some of his paintings were also influenced by western culture, with bold, rough, energetic and uninhibited styles, and the objects were not limited to Japanese boxes, cabinets and boxes. Some barbarian objects, such as sacred bread boxes and round armchairs, are also colored to show the customs of western Europeans. The Edo period was the most glorious period of painting, and a large number of excellent works emerged, which were extremely luxurious. Among many artists, Ben Ami's position is unparalleled. Guang Yue, a famous artist, is good at calligraphy, painting, painting, ceramics, sword, tea ceremony and gardening. It is omnipotent. In his later years, Konka gave him the land of Beiyingfeng in Kyoto, so he led his family and their craftsmen to move to Yingfengjian Art Village, specializing in craft production. Guang Yue's paintings are mostly made of lead, tin, mussels and other materials, and their techniques are novel and unique. The National Museum of Tokyo has a collection of "pontoon painting inkstone box" designed by Guangyue, with square rounded corners, convex covers and other thin lines like waves. Just like the boat swinging under the arch bridge, the technique is refined and elegant. If it weren't for Guangyue, such a master wouldn't have written it. Since then, the Guangdong painting style has been called "Guangdong painting", which is characterized by the use of classical themes and brand-new artists, bold selection of materials, overall generosity and great decoration.
After Guangyue, the famous Makieshi was fortunate to be a descendant of the Ami for seven generations, and his painting Hatsune Hatsune is the most famous. In the middle period of Edo, Sadako Ogata inherited the "Guangyue One Painting" and developed the "Guang Lin One Painting", which was very popular at that time. Guang Lin created the Eight Bridges Painting Inkstone Box and later the Insect Cage Painting Fruit Device, but after all, his artistic achievements are full of praise.
Later paintings are mostly technical, and there are few real masters and best products.
