When you look at the two oriental styles of China and Japan, you see wondrous beauty, but for different reasons are they both awe inspiring, elegant, and enchanted with grace.

Chinese: Their art style focuses on lush color schemes, and detail so fine and delicate that you could only imagine how much you could see if you had a magnifying glass to take it all in. When they make art, they go all out, they leave nothing bland and simple, and revel in the use of brush-stroke fluidity of their designs, which at worst is gawdy, but at best? Truly divine and symbolic of their determination and dedication to improvement.

Japanese: While China is grand and awesome in crafting dreamscapes worthy of legend, Japan is a small island with a hidden talent that they have mastered through the powers of subtlety and restraint.
They focus on using as small amount of detail as possible, preferring to master their art in such a way that they can turn a single brush stroke or pencil scratch into a characteristic marking. Indeed! They believe in less meaning more, and refine to sparce but defined drawing concepts, ink paintings and more.

In conclusion: Chinese are grand and extravagently vibrant in their part, while Japanese are simple, small but so powerful that it can rival their Chinese cousins. One is a chaotically vibrant and vivid immortal rainbow of emotion, the other is orderly and honed with much time and struggle like the blue steel of a master samurai's katana.
