What are the similarities in performing arts and visual arts of Japan, Korea and China? Why?
>subject, theme, artistic style

They are all very similar, and Korean and Japanese Art is part of the Sinosphere and
they were heavily influenced by idiosyncratic Chinese stories, themes, China Chinese Art
thought still reflects beliefs, ideas, and tastes. China, Japan and Korea are each other's major
trade and investment partners and their economies are highly interdependent. Furthermore,
they share a common culture. ... Back then, it was Japan that broke ranks and succeeded to be
the only non-Western, industrialized and global military power by the early 20th century.

A broad introduction to East Asian arts-their common characteristics, traditions, and

values-follows. More detailed and focused treatment is presented elsewhere. For detailed
coverage of the visual art of East Asia, see Chinese art; Chinese bronzes; Chinese calligraphy;
Chinese jade; Chinese lacquer work; Chinese painting; Chinese pottery; Japanese art; Japanese
calligraphy; Japanese pottery; Korean art; Korean calligraphy; and Korean pottery. For detailed
coverage of the architecture of East Asia, see Chinese architecture; Japanese architecture; and
Korean architecture. For detailed coverage of the music of East Asia, see Chinese music;
Japanese music; and Korean music. Likewise, for detailed coverage of the dance and theatre of
East Asia, see Chinese performing arts; Japanese performing arts; and Korean performing arts.

The visual arts, performing arts, and music of China, Korea (North Korea and South
Korea), and Japan. (The literature of this region is treated in separate articles on Chinese
literature, Korean literature, and Japanese literature.) Some studies of East Asia also include the
cultures of the Indochinese peninsula and adjoining islands, as well as Mongolia to the north.
The logic of this occasional inclusion is based on a strict geographic definition as well as a
recognition of common bonds forged through the acceptance of Buddhism by many of these
cultures. China, Korea, and Japan, however, have been uniquely linked for several millennia by
a common written language and by broad cultural and political connections that have ranged in
spirit from the uncritically ador.ational to the contentious.
