　　AD 200, and it was shortly after that when similar techniques were developed in China.Japanese art was heavily influenced by Chinese culture.The earliest complex art from Japan came between the seventh and eighth centuries.Early Japanese silk paintings were done with black ink or paint, and were generally monochromatic.Entering the 14th century Japanese artists began using a range of coloring matter, adding color to paintings.

　　Between the 16th and 18th centuries silk painting began to spread from its origins in Eastern Asia across the continent and eventually worldwide as intercontinental trade began to take place.In the 18th century, with the rise of the industrial revolution, silk became a readily accessible canvas (画布) and silk painting was popularized with European countries.Today the art of silk painting continues to develop and Japan ranks top as one of the cultural originators(发明者)of the tradition, says silk­painting expert Gill Kitchen.
