Art

Ancient Japanese art covered a variety of things. There was pottery, painting, sculpture, watercolour, and lots of other stuff. The 7th and 8th centries AD are when they first are discovering the japananese art. Until about 15 AD, religious and secular art were the most popular kinds of art.
Japanese writing was always done with a brush instead of a pen. because of the familiarity of the brush, it helped them with the painting. During the Edo period, a new type of art was introduced. During this period the religion started to decline. Scultpure was wrapped around religion, so the amount of sculptures also started to decline.
