We will then view examples of Japanese visual art from the 6th century to the present day, discussing ways to read paintings, picture scrolls, painted screens, sculpture, woodblock prints, theatrical performance, films, animated films, and comic books in the context of discussion of literary texts and aesthetic treatises contemporary to these works.
