Japanese culture originates directly from Chinese civilisation. Painting is represented by caricatures painted with ink or on Buddhist scrolls depicting the horrors of hell. The two most famous types of theatre performances are: the "kabuki", a melodramatic show and the "no", a masked show. The Shinto tombs and Buddhist temples are an expression of Japanese aesthetics easily found in contemporary architecture.
