A bird's-eye view. Also fukan zuhou λαΥ}@ (view from above). One type of perspective popular in Japanese painting, especially on handscrolls and screens. This perspective was used for early illustrations of Buddhist tales *setsuwaga ΰbζ, as well as illustrated secular tales popularized during the Heian and Kamakura periods. The technique is particularly useful for depicting scenes covering large areas, including land formations, sections of cities, battlegrounds, or scenes of famous places. Large-area paintings are almost map-like. Numerous screens from the 16c and 17c illustrating Scenes In and Around Kyoto *rakuchuu rakugai-zu O} are good examples of the use of this perspective. | ||||||
