Japanese culture is fascinating for all of us because it’s so different. Along the decades, many have tried to copy various features from it. Just think about the painted ceramic dishes, or the kimono dress, the Japanese umbrella, the lovely flower pattern designs and so much more. Japanese art, for example, covers a wide range of art styles: sculpture in bronze and wood, ancient pottery, ink painting on silk fabrics and on paper and most recently, Japanese art also covers art styles such as manga, cartoons and other contemporary types of artwork.
