Kankaiga - Paintings of Enlightenment

Japanese: 勧戒画 - かんかいが

Based on Confucian ethics, paintings aimed at encouraging good and disciplining evil. They were popular during the Han dynasty when Confucianism was at its height, depicting loyal subjects, filial sons, wise kings, chaste women, etc., and paintings based on classic texts also appeared after the Wei and Jin dynasties. Later, they were also combined with Buddhist thought. A representative example is Woman Wearing a Jingle Ball, said to have been created by Gu Gaizhi. In Japan, the Kano school painted them in the early Edo period, but there are only a few of them.

儒教倫理に基づき，勧善戒悪を目的とする絵画。儒教の盛んな漢代に盛行し，忠臣，孝子，賢王，貞女などが描かれ，魏・晋以後経書に取材した絵も出現。のち仏教思想とも結合した。顧【がい】之(こがいし)作といわれる《女子箴(じょししん)図》が代表例。日本では江戸初期に狩野派が描いたが，数は少ない。
