Bravo! That is our Concept for today!
Painting is indeed one of the highest
forms of arts in East Asia. In China and
Japan usually paint faces depending on the
character or personification they are
portraying.
There are four main types of roofs in traditional Chinese
that influence other Asian Architecture:
https://www.chinahighlights.com/travelguide/architecture/roofs.htm
4 CLASSIC TYPES OF ROOFS
There were many kinds of roofs in ancient Chinese architecture. Different
roof forms were used for different types of buildings. Here are the four
main types in order of hierarchy.
1. Hip Roofs
There were two kinds of hip roof: single-eave and double-eave.
Double-eaves were only used in royal palaces and Confucian temples
during the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1912) dynasties. The roof
of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City is the best
example.
2. Resting Hill Roofs
They were mainly used for important halls, temples, gardens, and
other official buildings. There were two styles of Xie Shan roof: mono-
eave and double-eave.
3. Hanging Hill Roofs
They were one of the most frequently used roof designs for more well-
to-do premises in China. The most obvious feature is eaves overhanging
the gable walls by three-tenths of the wall height.
4. Hard Hill Roofs
It was a very simple style with two slopes facing front and back.

COUNTRY FUNCTIONS OF ARTIFACTS & DESIGN
Woodblock printing
is a technique for printing text, images or
patterns used widely throughout East Asia and
originating in China in antiquity as a method of
printing on textiles, and later paper. As a
method of printing on cloth, the earliest
surviving examples from China date to before
220 A.D.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_China
https://www.instructables.com/id/Japanese-Woodblock-Printing/
Ukiyo-e
is a genre of Japanese art which flourished
from the 17th through 19th centuries. Its artists
produced woodblock prints and paintings of
such subjects as female beauties; kabuki actors
and sumo wrestlers; scenes from history and
folk tales; travel scenes and landscapes; flora
and fauna; and erotica. Wikipedia

Korean Mask
"Tal" is the Korean word for "mask." For ancient
Koreans, the tal was a sacred symbol of the gods (or
a particular god). As such, it was especially valued
and worshipped, and was always kept a certain
distance away from living quarters. At the same time,
the tal was believed to be capable of warding off
illness and danger. The singing and dancing included
in mask performances originate from the practice of
praying to the gods to maintain peace and prosperity
in the village and to protect people from danger and
illness.

MEANING OF COLORS IN FACE PAINTING
Only a few colors are used in kumadori
makeup; red, blue, brown and black. Whilst
black is simply used to exaggerate features,
such as eyebrows and the line of the mouth,
the other colors are used to tell the
audience about the character's nature.[1]
RED
kumadori indicates a powerful hero role, often
a character with virtue and courage. The most
famous role to use red kumadori is that of the
hero in Shibaraku, Kamakura Gongoro, and
has come to stereotypically represent kabuki
in the West.
BLUE
makeup is used to represent a villain, human
or not, and represents negative emotions
such as fear and jealousy. Ghosts in
traditional Japanese dramas are often trapped
by their attachment to such emotions, and so
often wear blue makeup; kitsune (fox spirits)
such as Genkurō in Yoshitsune Senbon
Zakura wear blue makeup as well.
BROWN
represents monsters and non-human spirits, such as oni (demons).
One example of the usage of brown kumadori is the tsuchigumo (ground
spider) fought by Minamoto no Raikō in Tsuchigumo Soushi.

Shogakukan. p. 88–91. ISBN 978-4-09-310843-0.
Traditional Korean masks, or tal,
were originally used in shamanist rituals;
today in cultural festivals, dances
(talnori) and plays called talchum that
are still performed as part of the
nation's heritage festivals and
celebrations of its rich and lengthy
history.
In any case, traditional Korean
masks have been used for funerals,
curing ceremonies, satirical plays and
pure entertainment for centuries.

Painting in East Asia does not only
apply on paper, silk and wood. Performers of
Kabuki in Japan and Peking Opera in China
use their faces as the canvas for painting
while mask painting is done in Korea
