Eh go easy on the japs. They aren't known for their artistic creativity but they are 100x more inventive than other Asians.

This is both apples-to-oranges and cherrypicking. Here's some actual Japanese art. The style at the time was drastically different. Even the Japanese painting shown is given without context and deliberately low-resolution. This is a [portrait of a kabuki actor,](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/Toshusai_Sharaku-_Otani_Oniji%2C_1794.jpg) by a guy who almost exclusively painted kabuki actors!

It has its own style, cultural meaning, charm, and refinement. Japanese calligraphy.

Isn't it a little sad that in international meetings the chinee always wear European business suits and not their own little dresses?

It's possible to like European and Japanese art at the same time.

Japan was technologically about a few hundred years behind Europe until the late 19th and early 20th century when they rapidly caught up as result of lots of interaction with Europe. This difference is a drop in the bucket compared to how behind Africa was and still is. If you're gonna look at kabuki art from the early 19th century, a fair comparison would be European art from the middle ages, which was equally poorly refined.

Just go into settings and turn DLSS 5 on.

Who are the painters?

The media its printed on vastly effects the results. Much of their paper was much different to our canvas and didnt have the rigidity. I think it was most often rice paper. It limited the ability to layer oils like we did in the time period.
