ita-e　板絵
CATEGORY:　art history / paintings
　
Lit. paintings on wooden boards. A painting on a wall or door of a temple or shrine. Examples include the paintings on the doors of the Phoenix Hall (Hououdou 鳳凰堂) in Byoudouin 平等院 (1053), and the wall-painting in the Main Shrine (Honden 本殿) of Ujigami 宇治上 Shrine (late 11c-early 12c). In these early examples, a base coat of kaolin (*hakudo 白土) was applied first, over which the paintings were created. Although the term ita-e customarily indicates early examples found in temples and shrines, later paintings on wooden boards, such as votive tablets (*ema 絵馬) and/or cedar-board-door paintings (*sugido-e 杉戸絵), should also be included. In these later examples, paintings were often depicted directly on wooden boards without the kaolin base.
