Traditional Asian art has a rich history to discover and explore, including the magnificent traditions of China and Japan.

What is Asian art?

Asian art is famous for amazing creativity that is crafted in the form of ceremonial bronzes, jade carving, porcelian art, pottery, paintings, caligraphy, shadow puppetry, and many more. These artworks transformed into many different designs following the traditional change of eras.

Art periods like the Neolithic, Qin era, Han Dynasty, Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasty China continued to thrive and create such creations that are still loved by us. Traditional culture and landscapes are painted and crafted on pottery, statues, or canvas, and are classified as an ancient Asian art.
