'''Painting''' (絵画) is one of the oldest Japanese art, and the most popular one. It was influenced by Chinese painting (Buddhist religious painting, [[landscape]]s in the Chinese tradition), and from the later 19th century onwards by Western art. Main Painting Schools have been: Suibokuga, Kanō, Rimpa, Tosa-ha, Nanga and Shijo. ''Japanese paintings may evoke an association with landscapes and natural scenes drawn with a few genial brush strokes. The impression may come from the majority of the scroll paintings that are to be found in galleries and museums.''
