Japanese art encompasses a wide range of traditional and contemporary forms, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, and textiles. Notable styles include ukiyo-e, a genre of woodblock prints that flourished during the Edo period, and sumi-e, a form of ink painting emphasizing simplicity and expression. In addition to visual arts, Japanese culture is rich in crafts such as origami (paper folding) and kimono making. Modern Japanese art continues to evolve, blending traditional techniques with contemporary themes, as seen in the works of artists like Yayoi Kusama and Takashi Murakami.
