Question by Cal: How did the advent of photography and/or the introduction of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints?
How did the advent of photography and/or the introduction of Japanese Ukiyo-e prints influence the impressionists in their abandoning of the stylistic characteristics of traditional painting? Your opinion?

Best answer:

Answer by Starmoss
Photography meant they didn’t have to paint realistically anymore. Before painting was about keeping a record, photography pushed it to the edge so it had to expand into something new.

Ukiyo-e prints are stylistically very different to anything they had seen before. But it wasn’t just Ukiyo-e prints, it was anything foreign. Chinese prints, African masks etc. It was a new aesthetic and therefore intriguing. It showed them that there were modes of artistic representation that were not within the western canon.

Question by Ben: How painful are Japanese traditional tattoos compared to normal tattoos?
I’m an American, but have lived in Japan for 2 years. I’ve travelled around, tried to learn the language and am actually taking a Japanese class soon. I want to get my 1st tattoo, and being how I’m in Japan, I only thought it would be right to get a traditional Japanese tattoo done. It’s done with bamboo and what not. I did also hear that a real Japanese tattoo is quite a bit more painful.
The plan for the tattoo is, 2 Kanji symbols, about palm size, starting at the triceps and going down. I want it to look like it was painted on. Ya, Japanese symbols are a little clique, but given my living situation and current lifestyle, I find it suitable. I can see myself at a bar, 10 years from now and someone is dogging on me for having Japanese symbols, but Oh! Mine were done traditionally, in Japan.

So what kind of pain am I talking about? I’ve never had a tattoo, but I’m avoiding any bone, and trying to stay on the meaty part of the triceps. My arms are pretty big (I’m a big boy, haha).
Any advice would be very helpful.

Answer by DINAAA

Question by psalm: What is the author suggesting?
On the Great Wave by Hokusai “To Westerners, this woodblock seems to be the quintessential Japanese image, yet it’s quite un-Japanese. Traditional Japanese would have never painted lower-class fishermen (at the time, fishermen were one of the lowest and most despised of Japanese social classes); Japanese ignored nature; they would not have used perspective; they wouldn’t have paid much attention to the subtle shading of the sky. We like the woodblock print because it’s familiar to us. The elements of this Japanese pastoral painting originated in Western art: it includes landscape, long-distance perspective, nature, and ordinary humans, all of which were foreign to Japanese art at the time. The Giant Wave is actually a Western painting, seen through Japanese eyes.”

Best answer:

Answer by Jimmy
I think the suggestion is that Westerns have their own version or view of traditional Japanese art, although it is not authentic. This reminds me of when I was stationed in Italy.. Here in the States, we have our own version of Italian food, that most people think is authentic, but in all actuality is far from it. Real Italian food, in Italy, is nothing like what you will eat here in the US at an Italian restaurant.

The last sentence is clearly presented as the author’s conclusion – both literally and figuratively. What it means is a different story. Possibly it is analogous to an Italian chef making curry, or a Indian chef making sushi.
