Traditional Japanese Art Gallery
Due to the relatively long time it takes to upload images,
this page consists of 100 pixel
wide, 8bit colour gifs. Click on the relevant gif to see 350 pixel wide full
colour jpeg versions. Sadly account space limits stop me having more images up.
A painting of the Minister Taira-No-Shigemori, by Fujiwara Takanobu

by Ito Jakuchu (18th century).
