Nihonga is a Japanese style of painting that typically uses mineral pigments, and occasionally ink, together with other organic pigments on silk or paper. The term was coined during the Meiji period (18681912) to differentiate it from its counterpart, known as Yōga, or Western-style painting. The term translates to “pictures in a Japanese style.”
