| Abstract | Yamato-e is a familiar but confounding concept in Japanese art history. Meaning simply “Japanese pictures,” the term is widely understood as much more. Scholars use it to refer to an alleged genre tha...t includes pictorial artworks featuring Japanese subject matter and a distinct style most often characterized as soft, colorful, and independent from outside influences (especially Chinese). This paper analyzes the twentieth-century historiography of yamato-e in terms of semantics, parameters, and narrative histories as established by various Japanese scholars, explains why our current definition of yamato-e is problematic, and examines how the concept of yamato-e reveals more about scholarly concerns of the early twentieth century than a specific painting style or type.show more |
