What is Japanese artwork called?
1 Answer
What Japanese artwork is called depends on its medium and style. Two major Japanese painting styles include sumi-e, a monochrome style that uses black ink, and nihonga, which is more colorful. Japanese woodblock prints are known as ukiyo-e. The general term for Japanese pottery is yakimono. Japan is also well-known for manga, a drawing style used in Japanese comic books and graphic novels.
