What learners will learn
After going through this module, learners are expected to:
- Trace the external (foreign) and internal (indigenous) influences that are reflected in the design of an artwork and in the making of a craft (A8PL-IIh-4)
Why East Asian arts look alike
The module starts from one idea. China, Japan, and Korea are neighbors that share similar religions, beliefs, and cultural traditions, so their arts and crafts resemble each other. History, religion, location, culture, and ruling dynasties all shaped their art. Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism played important roles in East Asian art.
Arts and crafts of China
- Landscape painting: considered the highest form of painting in China. The period from the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song is called the Great Age of Chinese landscape. Examples in the module are Dong Yuan’s Wintry Groves and Layered Banks and Guo Xi’s Early Spring.
- Calligraphy: means “beautiful handwriting.” The earliest examples are inscriptions on oracle bones and bronze vessels from the Shang dynasty.
- Woodblock printing: a way of printing text, images, or patterns, first on cloth and later on paper. The Diamond Sutra (AD 868) is called the world’s earliest dated printed book.
- Architecture: sweeping roofs were believed to protect against water, fire, and wind and to drive away evil spirits. The figures at the roof tips are called roof guards. The three roof types are straight inclined, multi-inclined, and sweeping.
- Peking Opera face painting (Jingju Lianpu): the special makeup of Peking Opera, China’s oldest and most important theatrical tradition. It was originally called “the false mask.”
- Paper: invented by Cai Lun of the Eastern Han dynasty from plant fibers, and described as one of ancient China’s greatest contributions to art.
- Paper folding (zhezhi): includes yuanbao, folded paper shaped like gold ingots called sycee, burned at funerals and during the ghost festival.
- Paper cutting (Jianzhi): began in the 6th century and was later used to decorate gates, doors, and windows. The cutouts are also called chuanghua (window flower).
- Kites: invented about 2,300 years ago. The military used them to send messages and to measure distances.
- Knot tying (Zhongguo): a folk art from the Tang and Song dynasties that later spread to Japan and Korea.
Arts and crafts of Japan
- Ukiyo-e: “pictures of the floating world,” Japan’s best-known art style. In the mid-18th century, artists mixed European and Japanese techniques to make landscape ukiyo-e.
- Kabuki makeup: the bright painted “mask” of Kabuki dance-drama. Its colors show a character’s age, gender, class, mood, and personality.
- Origami: Japanese paper folding. Buddhist monks brought papermaking from China during the Heian Period. Origami butterflies stand for the bride and groom at Shinto weddings.
- Hanamusubi: Japanese knot tying influenced by the Chinese. It focuses on braids and individual knots.
Arts and crafts of Korea
- Korean painting: began with tomb murals in the fourth century. Until the Joseon Dynasty, it was mainly influenced by Chinese painting.
- Tal or t’al: Korean masks with religious roots. They were used in funerals to drive away evil spirits, in shamanistic rites, and in theater.
- Maedeup or dorae: Korean ornamental knots. They look the same front and back and are tied without tools.

What is It
Arts and Crafts of East Asian Countries
East Asian countries specifically China, Japan, and Korea had a great contribution to the world of arts and crafts. These countries had been noted for their similarities and resemblances in art production, artistic traditions, and principles of arts as influenced by their history, beliefs, religion, location, culture, and dynasty.
The location of each country also played an important role towards the development of their arts. As shown in the picture below, China, Japan, Korea has always been a neighboring country who shares almost the same religion, beliefs, and cultural tradition. Religious beliefs had also contributed a great influence to the origin of their widely known arts.

Arts and Crafts of China
Landscape painting is considered the highest form of painting in China with a long and interesting history. Ever since the time of the great Five Dynasties period to the Northern Song period Chinese artists have been painting landscapes in such a meticulous and masterful manner that the whole era is called the Great age of Chinese landscape.
By the beginning of the Tang dynasty (618-907), the tradition of landscape painting had advanced a little, relatively due to the increasing demand for Buddhist icons.
Examples of Landscape Painting
[illustration: horizontal landscape scroll with bare trees over layered banks] Dong Yuan: Wintry Groves and Layered Banks Source: widewalls.ch
[illustration: ink landscape with rocky mountains and waterfalls] Guo Xi: Early Spring Source: widewalls.ch
The ideologies of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism played important roles in East Asian Art. Chinese art exhibit the human understanding of the connection between nature and human. This might be called the metaphysical, Daoist aspect of Chinese painting.
Calligraphy
To the Chinese, Calligraphy literally means ‘beautiful handwriting’. The earliest enduring examples of Chinese writing are the inscriptions that appear on so-called oracle bones (animal bones and turtle shells) and on bronze vessels, the oldest of which date back to the Shang dynasty (ca.1600 to ca.1100 B.C.E.).

Chinese Architecture
East Asian temples, palaces and houses have sweeping roofs because they believe that it will protect them from the elements of water, fire, and wind. Buddhists believe that it will drive away evil spirits which were deemed to be straight lines. The figures at the tip are called roof guards.
There are three types of roofs in traditional Chinese Architecture which influenced other Asian Architecture.
- Straight inclined – Most economical for common Chinese Architecture.

Paper Cutting
Paper-cut is a very distinctive visual art of Chinese handicrafts. It originated from the 6th century when women used to paste golden and silver foil cuttings onto their hair at the temples, and men used them in sacred rituals. Later, they were used during festivals to decorate gates and windows.

Arts and Crafts of Japan
Japanese Ukiyo-e
The best known and most popular style of Japanese art is ukiyo-e which means ‘pictures of the floating world’. During the mid-18th century, Japanese artists were exposed to European artistic styles and began to integrate European and Japanese techniques to produce landscape ukiyo-e, which were eagerly consumed by the Japanese public.

Kabuki Makeup
Kabuki is a classical Japanese dance-drama. During the Kabuki performance, Kabuki makeup is applied excessively to create a brightly painted mask that uses colours in symbolic ways to classify the age, gender, and class of each character, as well as their moods and personalities.
Kabuki theatre began when female attendants at religious shrines began performing a mixture of folk dance and religious dance.

Origami
Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD and was popularized internationally in the mid-1900s.
