Japanese paintings are the result of exquisite strokes derived from the dedication and discipline of their artists.
An observer may see varied paintings of carp and koi fish using watercolors, or a geisha draped in a kimono , and maybe even a Japanese samurai in Tokyo .
It may also take on other more unconventional forms, such as Zen paintings . Japan is truly a nation whose people strive for mastery or perfection in the skills required in their profession.
One can see this with the pride that individuals feel with churning out products such as the samurai for the sword makers, or the kimono for weavers.
This also applies to their martial artists, who consistently hone their techniques, such as the practitioners of karate and aikido, to their academe such as the topnotch Tokyo University.
As can be expected, the Japanese people also extend this culture to their paintings.
Zen paintings are somewhat spiritual and there is one that consists of a single circular brush stroke.
Other paintings in the galleries of Tokyo may be on a more cultural aspect, like a kimono, a geisha or a samurai painting. Also, there is a lot of room for experimental and abstract art in paintings and in fashion.
In short, whatever the topic, these paintings serve as truly attractive invitations for us to get to know the rich Japanese culture.
