Jo - pièce de résistanceFound this little charming guy as I was on Pinterest and omg so cute from an old Japanese painting.
(Origins may be questionable)
az@JoBlakely The image you provided is a modern digital illustration created in the style of traditional Chinese court painting.
It draws inspiration from the Gongbi technique, known for its meticulous brushwork and highly detailed realism, a style famously used by Qing Dynasty court painters like Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shining).
Costume Elements: The bird is humorously depicted wearing a black official's hat (Wushamao) and a traditional cross-collared robe tied with a red silk ribbon.

It looks more like Japanese Kanmuri Shinto hat to me.

Though there are design & style crossovers from China to Japan, there are major noticeable differences too. This does NOT look like a Wushamao at all.
ChatGPT who you are getting your info from is hardly the expert on cultural differences.

The images referenced are not comparable except to someone ignorant of the arts & both cultures. I did look at those pieces you referenced.
