Question by tarmanarmos: Which Dragon do you like better?
The Western Dragons as depicted in Medieval Art or the Oriental Dragons from China, Japan, and other Oriental cultures.
Western Dragons were viewed as evil, usually killed by heroic Knights rescuing the princess or some fair maiden.
Oriental Dragons are revered, bringers of good fortune provided you stay on their good side of course!
They are heavily seen in Oriental art, paintings, statues, et., etc.

Answer by Safyre
I’m afraid my bias is toward western dragons.
This is purely from an aesthetic point of view.
I find oriental dragons too serpentine for my tastes.
Not that I have anything against snakes, I just prefer a great big, lumbering, fire-breathing dragon that sits on any knight that *dares* raise a sword against it – WUMFFFF.

ENGLISH
Falconry or hawking is an art or sport which involves the use of trained raptors (birds of prey) to hunt or pursue game for humans. There are two traditional terms used to describe a person involved in falconry: a falconer flies a falcon; an austringer flies a hawk (accipiter). In modern falconry, buteos are now commonly used, and the words "hawking" and "hawker" have become used so much to mean petty travelling traders, so "falconer" and "falconry" now apply to all use of trained birds of prey to catch game.
Traditional view of falconry state that the art started in Mesopotamia. The earliest evidence comes from around the reign of Sargon II (722-705 BC). Falconry was probably introduced to Europe around AD 400, when the Huns and Alans invaded from the East. Frederick II of Hohenstaufen has been noted as one of the early European noblemen to take an interest in falconry. He is believed to have obtained firsthand knowledge of Arabic falconry during wars in the region (between June 1228–June 1229). He obtained a copy of Moamyn’s manual on falconry and had it translated into Latin by Theodore of Antioch. Frederick himself made corrections to the translation in 1241 resulting in De Arte Venandi cum Avibus (The Art of Hunting with Birds).
Historically, falconry was a popular sport, and status symbol, among the nobles of medieval Europe and feudal Japan; in Japan it is called takagari. Eggs and chicks of birds of prey were quite rare and expensive, and since the process of raising and training a hawk or falcon takes a lot of time and money and space, it was more or less restricted to the noble classes. In Japan, there were even strict restrictions on who could hunt which sorts of animals and where, based on rank within the samurai class. In art and in other aspects of culture such as literature, falconry remained a status symbol long after falconry was no longer popularly practiced. Eagles and hawks displayed on the wall could represent the noble himself, metaphorically, as noble and fierce. Woodblock prints or paintings of falcons or falconry scenes could be bought by wealthy commoners, and displayed as the next best thing to partaking in the sport, again representing a certain degree of nobility.

La cetrería es el arte de criar, entrenar y curar halcones y otras aves rapaces para la caza de volatería. En general se puede decir que es una caza de aves y pequeños cuadrúpedos que se practica desde la antigüedad medieval con halcones, azores, cernícalos y otras rapaces capaces de perseguir la presa en el aire hasta derribarla o matarla.
Los antiguos vestigios y documentos sobre cetrería muestran que en la mayoría de los casos se trataba de un deporte aristocrático en el que participaban reyes y otros personajes poderosos.
Los orígenes de la cetrería son muy antiguos y se cree que se originó en Asia. Es posible que se haya descubierto en China, ya que existen muchas referencias sobre la práctica de la cetrería antes de Cristo en diversos textos chinos y japoneses.
El mundo greco-latino no practicó la cetrería. Algunas de las representaciones que se hacen pasar como de cetrería, tan sólo lo son de lo que entre los romanos se llama aucupio (captura de pájaros, chuchería, pajaritería).
Parase que a Europa occidental llegó de mano de las invasiones godas. El primer testimonio gráfico, datado en el siglo V d. C., se encuentra en los mosaicos de la Villa del Halconero en Argos (Grecia). Posteriormente se mencionará el las leyes de los pueblos germánicos que poco a poco fueron traspasando las fronteras del Imperio de Roma y se asentaron al sur de los ríos Rín y Danubio.
En Europa la época dorada de esta arte y afición fue la Edad Media. Se puede decir que más o menos desde el siglo VI hasta el siglo XVI, en el que se practicaba la caza con halcones y azores, disfrutó de su mayor auge y difusión. Esta técnica venatoria perdió terreno frente a las novedosas armas de fuego y, también, a causa de lo costoso que era mantener un buen equipo de halcones y halconeros, pues la cetrería, por lo general, fue una práctica reservada para reyes y grandes señores, aunque no había ninguna ley que se la prohibiera al pueblo llano, pero para obtener comida había métodos más efectivos y seguros.

Japan Painting
Question by BW: How do I clean Japanese walls?
Our walls here are covered in a kind of painted wallpaper that’s soft enough to gouge a groove in with your finger. I’ve been in my apartment for a number of years and when I moved a poster I noticed how yellow the walls have become. I’ve only ever had painted brick walls at home so I’m a little uncertain about how to clean the walls here in Japan. Is it okay to just use soap and water?

ARTIST WITH A BRUSH PHOTOGRAPHED BY AN ARTIST WITH A CAMERA — A Rare Image from Old Japan
Image by Okinawa Soba (On the Road for a While)
This ca.1915-1928 image by T. ENAMI is only one of a handful of fine views I’ve seen from the Bakumatsu, Meiji, and Taisho eras showing a seated artist at work in old Japan (Link to another one given at bottom of this caption). Not only do we have a large "canvas" being brought to completion, there is also a blank wall-scroll waiting for an inspired picture (or work of calligraphy), and a finished scroll as well.
The large array of brushes and pigment bowls is also clearly shown. This is a far cry from what a similar Western scene would show — the artist seated in a chair or standing before a canvas, with his colors spread out for mixing on a hand-held pallet. A similar scene of shallow pigment bowls being used by "colorists" who are busy tinting old Meiji-era photographs can be seen here : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2494892753/
The word "Artist" was a pretty clear term until Photographers came along. Suddenly, an "Artist with a brush" (so to speak) had to contend with "Cameramen" and "Photographers" also calling themselves "Artists". And some of these folks with brush and paint took exception to that. They complained that Photographers with their funny little boxes and (horror of horrors) unnatural black and white "miniatures" — many of them crooked or blurred — had no right to fraudulently deceive people by calling their images works of "Art".
Photographer Herbert G. Ponting, who toured Japan for most of five years from 1901 to 1906, took exception with the complaints of the old Painters. He was one of those who did not like to be called a Photographer. He preferred the term "Artist" — especially as it applied to himself. : www.flickr.com/photos/24443965@N08/2360328226/
In the end, the dust surrounding the semantics and pride associated with the word "Artist" settled out with an acceptable compromise. Today, we can find many old imprints and engraved card backs with "ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHER" accompanying the name of whoever the illustrious (or long forgotten) cameraman might be.
These days, no one would argue that the camera has produced some of the most soul-stirring images the world has ever seen — both, still, motion, stereoscopic, and holographic (and even creative combinations of all these!). Much of it can be found right here on flickr. And no one disputes the fact that there are also a lot of uninspired Painters out there who could not paint their way out of a bathtub.
As for the above anonymous "brush image" of a waterfall in the snow (painted a second time by sunbeams onto the small piece of glass inside of Enami’s camera), I am as happy with it as I am with photograph itself.

Question by jamie: Why is painting considered one of the most popular art forms in Japan?
What is its contributions to the art world?
Best answer:
Answer by Debonair
Assuming that you are referring to the Sumi (-e) or ink paintings of Japan,the aim of the sumi-e artist was/is to capture the essence of the subject matter. So besides the painting there was a philosophy that went with it. A philosophy meant to be both shared by the artist and the viewer.Traditional art work in Japan was seen as having a life of it’s own. An interesting practice not seen in western art is that the owner of a painting might be so inspired by a painting as to compose a poem. And after careful consideration for placement would add that poem to the painting. So the writing that you might see on these paintings were added there by someone that owned the work and not by the artist On some you might even see more than one poem.. Also owners would place their a cartouche stamp in red ink on some of the paintings showing ownership. Some older works will have many. The placement of these stamps were not idle actions either. The placement was also something done with careful consideration. Both the placing of the poems and stamps was done with an aesthetic in mind meant to enhance the art work.

Today the Rogues are surfin’, but I threw in a bonus Bench Monday as well.
And, yes, I’m surfing fully clothed. It was too cold to do otherwise. And I’d have posed better, had it not been for the fact that my bench was wobbly and unstable – not really designed for standing on, and especially not by a (very slightly) overweight middle-aged guy who should know better.
(It was only after I did this did I realise that I’d used a modified version of the print, rather than the original. I have no idea who to credit it to. Sorry.)

A painting of the last supper, made in Japan? heh… that’s good
I don’t have a clue but I guess you’d need to know the artist and/or style and maybe the studio from where it came. At least some more info will be required to get any appraisal on the work. Try searching the net with terms like.. japanese, last supper, silk, appraisal, etc. maybe you’ll get lucky.
