This project aims at comparative studies of Japanese and Chinese arts after eighth century. The members of the project consists of specialists from four different genres: Chinese sculpture, Japanese sculpture, Chinese painting and Japanese painting.

Each member argued unique aspects of Japanese art under various influences of Chinese culture and discussed true nature of the domestications of Chinese art in Japan.

The former dealt Buddhist paintings and the latter discussed problems of an Japanese Buddhist sculpture in the history of ancient East Asian sculpture. Akiho Donohashi reinquired into historical conditions in order to commence comparative studies between Dunghuan murals and Tempyo art. Tsuguo Miya researched Chinese Buddhist prints as compositional sources for Japanese Jigokue (Hell painting) and Lotus sutra painting. Hisao Miyake examined iconographical influences of the Song style to the Kei school sculptures. Teisuke Toda and Akio Takamizawa studied interrelationships between Nambokucho and Muromachi periods ink wash painting and their contemporary Chinese or Korean works. Hiromitsu Kobayashi argued possible influences of Ming prints on 17th century Japanese paintings including Momoyama period murals. Keiko Aimu discussed the process of transformation of Muqi style in the works of Sotatsu.
