Japanese Art / Photo Apps for iPad, iPod, iPhone

There are a great many Japanese art / photo apps for the iPad and iPhone.  I have listed a few that I keep on my own iPad below.  Some are free, some are not, but they are not generally expensive and look pretty nice!  Look for many other apps from the various museums on the App store there too.
