shouldn't this article be called "Modern Japanese painting"? Johnbod 01:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

No, it is meant to cover all of Japanese painting. It just needs expansion. LordAmeth 12:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

- You can say that again! There should also be an overview article on Japanese printmaking Johnbod 21:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Article has now been considerably expanded. --MChew 06:56, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese translation

The Japanese word that means "Japanese painting" is "nihonga". It's in kanji. --PJ Pete

Actually, this article is on a much broader topic. Not all painting done in Japan or by Japanese is nihonga. There are a great many styles and schools that do not fall under that particular category. LordAmeth 09:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
