Japanese Pictographs
Pictograms much like Ideograms are pictures/symbols that represent ideas/concepts, but unlike ideograms they portray a more understandable scene rather than symbol.
the Japanese are famous for mixing Calligraphy with their art work, so in a way most examples of Japanese/Chinese art will contain both pictograms and ideograms (to a certain extent).
in the above picture it is strongly image based with lots of colour, and lots of elements to draw the eye and combined with the symbols will tell a story, all tho due to the fact I cant read these i am unsure as to the story behind it.
