Shohekiga

Japanese: 障壁画 - しょうへきが

A general term for paintings on the floor, walls, sliding doors, cedar doors, partitions, ceilings, etc., of Japanese architecture. Sometimes used simply as a synonym for sliding door paintings. The history of sliding door paintings dates back to the Heian period, but the style was established with the establishment of Shoin-zukuri architecture in the Muromachi period, and the style of magnificent gold and silver sliding door paintings made a great leap forward with the construction of large-scale palaces by military commanders from the Momoyama period to the early Edo period. Works from that time remain at Nanzen-ji Temple, Chishaku-in Temple, Daikaku-ji Temple, Nijo Castle, Nishi Hongan-ji Temple, and other places. The term "zashiki-e" created in the Muromachi period also applies to this term. Incidentally, sliding door paintings and folding screen paintings are also called shohei-ga (screen paintings).

Japanese:

日本建築の室内の床貼付(はりつけ)，壁貼付，襖(ふすま)，杉戸，衝立(ついたて)，天井などに描かれた絵の総称。単に襖絵と同義に用いることもある。障壁画の歴史は平安時代にさかのぼるが，室町時代における書院造の成立に伴って形式を整え，桃山〜江戸初期に武将によって行われた大規模な殿舎の造営によって，豪壮な金碧(きんぺき)障壁画の様式が飛躍的な発展を遂げた。南禅寺，智積(ちしゃく)院，大覚寺，二条城，西本願寺などに当時の作品が残っている。また室町時代につくられた〈座敷絵〉という呼称は，ほぼこれに当てはまる。なお，障壁画と屏風(びょうぶ)絵を合わせて障屏(しょうへい)画ともいう。
