Woman painting - Onnae

Japanese: 女絵 - おんなえ
Woman painting - Onnae
A painting term found in documents from the Heian period. It is thought to refer to pictures of stories full of sentimentality that were favored by aristocrats and women of the imperial court. In terms of technique, it is a heavily colored work of art, and is assumed to be in a style similar to that of the Tale of Genji Illustrated Scroll (Tokugawa/Goto version). There is also an interpretation that the term "male paintings" that appear in documents from the same period refer to line-drawing-oriented paintings that are stylistically opposed to female paintings, but the meaning cannot be made clear from the examples of the term alone.

平安時代の文献に散見する絵画用語。貴族や宮廷の女性たちに愛好された情趣性に富む物語絵をさしたと考えられ,技法的には濃彩の作り絵で,『源氏物語絵巻』 (徳川・五島本) のような様式が想定される。なお同時代の文献に現れる「男絵」の語を,様式的に女絵と対立する線がき本位の絵とする解釈もあるが,用語例だけからはその内容を明らかにしえない。
