China has long been the East Asian center of painting and has cultivated traditions of its own. Groups of both quantitatively and qualitatively exquisite works, often depicting enchanted landscapes, lovely flowers and birds that are believed to bring fortune, and other ancient figures, have been handed down to this day. Along the way, sophisticated painting techniques have been developed and been passed down from painter to painter, while a means to appreciate and view such paintings has also evolved over time. In Japan, where Chinese painting has been loved for a long time, it has been of immeasurable its influence on domestic painters.
In present Japan, there are not so many occasions to see Chinese painting, and its prosperous history is known to a limited number of people.
