He learned about and adopted ideas of shading, coloring, realism, and landscape perspective - and lots of other stuff like depictions of people in nature, the commoner, etc. Later of course all of that re-invigorated Japanese art was used to wrap Japanese goods for the Europeans and studied by artists like Van Gogh. <BR/><BR/>Sesshu, an earlier *awesome* Japanese artist, studied intensively in China.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383812070175961882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1153913104098187622006-07-26T07:25:00.000-04:002006-07-26T07:25:00.000-04:00kalm jamesthat's true, I am viewing the Japan thro...kalm james<BR/>that's true, I am viewing the Japan through my western lense. So your are right I was viewing my time there through my own cultural bagage. <BR/><BR/>I was just responding to you thinking my experience was just as a tourist. We all jump to conclusions to fast.<BR/><BR/>For what its worth the pancakes are nothing like we have here, the are savory,<BR/>with vegtables, meat, or shrimp in them and they are big.<BR/><BR/>There is Tokyo style, and Hiroshima style<BR/>for anyone intrested.<BR/><BR/>For me the best way into any culture is through food and drink. Sit down with someone for a good meal with some good wine, beer or sake and you can find a lot of comommon ground.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03014751431677271423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1153899143546097342006-07-26T03:32:00.000-04:002006-07-26T03:32:00.000-04:00Alright, after 2 days of ruminating on this jpeg, ...Alright, after 2 days of ruminating on this jpeg, I<BR/>finally conclude that I think this picture is crap. But Z's video<BR/>did help shed some light upon it -- further illuminating<BR/>it's crappiness. At least darger knew how to make a<BR/>sensitive line. Who knows. Perhaps Line is enculturated.<BR/>Though I bet that such enculturation isnt based upon the <BR/>geographic nor ethnographic -- rather the slackergraphic.<BR/>And I'm not entirely against the 1-width ball point pen<BR/>type of aesthetic. It's just that the line here is crap.<BR/><BR/>Nice inventive cat crawling within the right-most head.<BR/>At first I hated the awkwardness of the cape-wing and<BR/>now it's my favorite part. Erase the rightmost figure,<BR/>yes the one with the cat, and it'll become a more mature,<BR/>less 'ham-fisted' composition. Like a meeting between<BR/>an urgent Darger and the strangely monastically reserved<BR/>Puvis de Chavannes.<BR/><BR/>Aww but see, all I think of now, when I see this jpeg,<BR/>is the video -- so my thoughts are suspect. Production<BR/>value versus artistic value. Fuck it. This one doesn't<BR/>have the weird nipple-sucking. I conclude this is crap.jpegCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355558084184256062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1153888437541181532006-07-26T00:33:00.000-04:002006-07-26T00:33:00.000-04:00it's fun for me too .. although that would quickly...it's fun for me too .. although that would quickly change if it was taken away from me!<BR/><BR/>Mr W Up.... huge pressure if you live off it?
