Between 1000 and 300 BCE, potters in Cyprus produced pottery and figures for daily use, feasting, ritual, and as gifts for the dead and the gods.
This wine jug, or oinochoe, dates to about 750-600 BCE and has been decorated with an ibis bird picking at a lotus flower.

This piece is typical of the Rinpa style of painting. The Rinpa School emerged in Kyoto in the early 1600s and is distinctive for its dramatic compositions and bold use of gold and colours.

Autumn and winter flowers are painted across this screen by the samurai artist Watanabe Shikō.
This screen shows the artist's mastery of tarashikomi, the dripping of ink or paint onto areas of wet colour to produce an effect of diffusion – ideal for depicting leaves or petals.
