The Yamato-e often tell narrative themes with text along with them, show the beauty of nature, e.g. famous places (meisho-e 名所絵), and the four seasons (shiki-e 四季絵). The pictures are non-symbolic and have the objective of depicting the beauty in nature, as Buddha 's incarnation. The pictures are often on scrolls that can be hung on a wall (掛け物, kakemono) or handscrolls that could be read from right to left with the accompanied story or on a folding screen ( Byoubu , 屏風) or panel (shouji, 障子). Although they received their name from the Yamato Period (大和), Yamato-e pictures rather stand for a style and are not restricted to a particular period. Although the most famous artists painted in Suiboku style in the Muromachi Period , this was not characteristic of early pictures. Yamato-e had a great influence on the Rimpa (琳派) and Ukiyo-e (浮世絵) styles, as well as the nihonga (日本画). YAMATO-E ARTISTS Famous artists include: REFERENCES
