E-awase (絵合,painting contest) was a pastime popular amongJapanese nobles during theKamakura period,^[1] although its history dates back to theHeian.^[2]

In ane-awase contest, participants were divided into two teams,^[1] and created paintings on a predetermined topic, which were then judged by their peers,^[3] as in the olderuta-awase poetry contests.^[4] It was a popular entertainment at parties and social gatherings.^[5] Ane-awase contest of this type appears inThe Tale of Genji, forming the central theme of chapter 17.^[6]

An alternative version of the picture contest was simpler, with players matching or associating pre-painted images.^[7] This was a development of an older game known askai-awase (貝合 "shell matching"). Matching scenes would be painted on the inner surfaces of a number of clam shells; these would then be spread on the floor, image side down, and turned over by competitors who would attempt to match the corresponding images.^[8]
