Japanese Art

Japanese Art covers a range of art styles and media, like pottery, sculpture and ink printing. Over the time Japan developed the ability to absorb those elements of foreign culture. Japanese ceramics are among the finest in the world. It was the first known artifacts of  the cultures. In 1868 the Emperor of Japan regained power, Japan was once again invaded with new influences of other cultures. A lot of new Japanese gardens were built with jihe Ogawa. The Manga style of drawing, was first drawn in the Meiji Period, that was influenced by English and French political cartoons. However some arts that were popular in this period such as joge-e (reversible images) are no longer that popular in modern Japan.
