Throughout the history of Japanese art, each generation of painters, Buddhist sculptors, potters and other artists studied the works of the masters among their contemporaries as well as their predecessors in the field to create the masterpieces over time. Comparing artworks by master artists reveals fascinating details of similarity and contrast. The visual arts of each generation flourished and were enriched by rivalry between distinguished talents.
