In contrast to Egyptian, Byzantine, and Indian art, early Chinese and Japanese art did employ the perspective element named as recession of apparent size (non-systematically); but without the use of vanishing points or (object) foreshortening as seen in the Ancient Greek examples.
Overall, in the art of China/Japan, spatial depth is depicted through the use of successive picture planes (spatial layering) located at different distances from the viewer, upon which (isolated) parallel projection(s) are made. Far Eastern artists used parallel perspective to structure pictorial space, which, though not (overtly) scientifically or optically grounded, follows defined principles. Today, it underpins many computer- and technical/engineering drawing systems.
