Why is old japanese art like that of Sesshu Toyo and Fujiwara Takanobu so different from western art?

Why are languages different? Why are religions different? Why are cultures different? Why are you and I different?

>> No.3136805

Because Japanese art works more with ... eh, binnenlinien and außenlinien. Don't know what they're called in english. The black lines in and around the paintings.

Religions have a selfsame motif, cultures have similar elective affinities, languages abide by logic.

Cause they didn't copy shit back then.

Because perspective.

Because those ching-chong motherfuckers cannot into creative pursuits. All they can do is copy.

Japan is a cultural wasteland, always has been.

I thought they only got the eyes after the glare from the atom bomb.

Why the fuck did the USA stop after two of those, btw? Another 20 might have made the world really worth living in.

How does Japan effect you on a daily basis. Honestly? It's like saying: "You know what I really hate? The moon."

I work with Japanese people every single day. My job involves analysing Jappo banking trends. So the whale-slaughtering zipperheads affect me daily on a daily basis.

So does the moon, come to think of it. You're pretty stupid. Which prefecture of Japan do you come from? I bet it's Shizuoka, they're without a doubt the stupidest of all japs.

It is. It's terrible to be a hypocrite. Smiling at the yellow bastards, making kissy-face on the phone, pretending they're human, just to make (admittedly lots of) money.

Name one thing the slopes have done that's original. Change my mind.
