There are numerous qualities that are unique and pervade only in Japanese landscape paintings.
Most artists from Japan, like some of their Asian counterparts, resort to the use of oil and watercolor.
But whatever the medium, one can always detect the oriental roots that these artists convey to their artworks.
In the past, whether it be a drawing of Mount Fuji in Tokyo, fields in Nagasaki or trees in Hiroshima, the Japanese artist would brush his artworks with black ink.
There would usually be writings on these artworks.
Another important detail that has been noted about these landscape artworks, whether the subject be Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Tokyo, is the habit of the artist from Japan to highlight the enormous dimensions of these places relative to the size of a person.
Most say that this technique is to produce the effect of awe while viewing the artworks, thereby imitating the same emotions felt by anybody in Japan who is actually seeing Mount Fuji in Tokyo or any other landscape in Japan.
Others say this simply demonstrates the respect the people of Japan have for nature and its powers.
