Painting
Chinese painting of the Ming (Jp: Min 明) and Qing (Jp: Shin 清) dynasties. The term, used primarily in distinction to *sōgenga 宋元画, designates later Chinese painting. Although artists from Sesshū Tōyō 雪舟等楊 (1420-1506) to Ike no Taiga 池大雅 (1723-76) were influenced by Ming and Qing painting, minshinga never achieved the prestige of sōgenga in the eyes of Japanese collectors and artists.
