Actually, Real Eastern picture Art and the authentic producers of Eastern picture Art had been mostly destroyed by the ripples of the murderously destructive violence of the entering barbaric western imperialistic invaders into China, Japan, Korea because of the extroverted haughty European Empire's military's violent destructive actions toward those 3 Asian societies during the 19th century and 20th century. In other words, the western Empire's goal to subjugate Japan's government and Korea's government using military and economic coercion for instilling western political ideologies in those East Asian countries have had massively demolished the production of Authentic Eastern Art instead of westernized Eastern Art.
