After the Japanese court stopped sending envoys to China, in 838, interactions between Japan and China were limited. In the middle ages (twelfth through sixteenth centuries), however, exchanges again became active, and a variety of Chinese goods were brought to Japan. Those include Imperial Court Academy paintings and outstanding ink-wash paintings by Muqi and other artist-priests. These works, called Kara-e, Chinese paintings, in Japan were highly regarded among warrior clans, including the clan of the Ashikaga shoguns. Under their influence, many Kara-e paintings modeled on Chinese examples were created in Japan.
The Nezu Museum collection includes many superb Kara-e, including Chinese paintings and ink-wash paintings from Japan’s middle ages. This exhibition introduces particularly significant works from among them.
