Rooted in ancient traditions and shaped by cross-cultural interactions, Japanese art is a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.

If you go to Tokyo, spend a lot of time at the Tokyo National Museum... SO much artwork.

[@coltaine503]

I obtained a copy of The Great Wave of Kanawaga " and several other ukiyo-e prints decades ago at the museum while in Tokyo on business. It is indeed a special place.

[@lindarichmond1197]

Thank you! I enjoyed this so much.

I am leading the horse (I called him Beauty, a chestnut Tennesee Walker) that she is riding at 34.47; this was near Mt. Tremper/ Bearsville, Woodstock, New York State, in the Catskills in 1966 when I was teaching horseback riding, theatre, and canoe at All Seasons Camp for young boys. She arrived in a VW Van with her photographer and his Indian wife wearing a sari. My young son was with me. I later realized that this was Kusama who was very actively making polka dots.

[@springboardyogi8895]

Can someone tell me the name of the title screen artwork and artist, the large scarlet circle at 0:50? Thanks for your effort BehindtheMasterpiece. I appreciate the video!

[@MrTorleon]

Thank you so much for this superb and beautifully presented documentary, brilliantly filmed throughout with an equally gifted narrative. I have a number of books in my library covering many of the outstanding Japanese artists included in this presentation, and gifted to me by two very dear Japanese friends a number of years ago. However, I Have been, to my shame, unaware of Katsushika Oi and Uemura Shoen, two astonishingly talented female Japanese artists - their work utterly captivating - their immeasurable skill in the art presented here speaks for itself. A superior production in every way - my thanks once again - domo aringato ( if I have that correct ) :)

[@BehindtheMasterpiece]

Thank you so much that's very kind ❤️ I'm glad you've enjoyed it!

[@ionescuflorin7307]

Sosaku hanga, Japanese Surrealism, Gutai, Mono-ha... there's a lot of great modern Japanese art that has been skipped over in the making of this video for the sake of skipping ahead to Yayoi Kusama. And then skipping to conclusion as if nothing happened since Kusama debuted.

[@SailorChic]

It is a BRIEF history-a complete history cannot be covered in a short video. Of course some would have to be skipped. We do not have years to learn of the complete history of art in Japan. If you feel offended by this video-then make one yourself, covering EVERY artist and put it out. We are waiting…..

I don’t think those clay figures were depiction of themselves, rather more like extraterrestrial. I don’t understand why people can’t see that.

[@1marcelo]

Because there were never extraterrestrials on this planet
