Ainu genre painting (アイヌ風俗画, Ainu-fuzokuga) or (アイヌ絵 Ainu-e) is the Japanese art historical term for depictions of Ainu by Wajin, prevalent from the mid- Edo period to the early Meiji period (eighteenth and nineteenth centuries). [3] [4] The preliterate Ainu had no painting tradition of their own. [5]
Typical subjects include myths and legends, rituals, encounters with wajin, hunting, fishing, and forms of entertainment. [5] Artists active in the genre include Chishima Shunri (千島春里), Hayasaka Bunrei ( 早坂文嶺), Hirasawa Byōzan ( 平沢屏山), Kakizaki Hakyō, Kodama Teiryō (小玉貞良), Matsuura Takeshirō ( 松浦武四郎) Murakami Shimanojō (村上島之允), Murakami Teisuke (村上貞助), and Tani Gentan ( 谷元旦).
