Who are the famous Japanese painters from13rd century to17th century?

13rd century and14th century are the Kamakura era in the history of Japanese painting, which is an artistic transition era, that is, the transition era from Japanese classical Yamato painting to ink painting, which is constantly influenced by China, Song and Yuan. By the15th century, the Japanese shogunate had great respect for China's Song and Yuan cultures. For a time, ink painting and Zen culture had a great influence on Japanese art, and many excellent painters appeared in Japanese ink painting. Famous ones are: Zhao Ming, Zhou Wen, Sesshū Tōyō, Sanya, etc.

He was a Buddhist painter in Tofuku-ji Temple, and his paintings were quite famous at that time. 1368 completed 50 pieces of "Five Hundred Arhats" imitating the paintings of Arhats in Yuan Dynasty, and 1408 completed the masterpiece "Nirvana".

Zhou Wen was the central figure of Japanese painting in the early15th century. He is versatile and good at painting Buddhist paintings, landscape paintings and flower-and-bird paintings.
