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!

Idk, you could take their absolute best artwork (which are awesome) and it still would be incomparable to European art
