The option that best identifies an important cultural feature of classical Japan is "the development of a new type of painting style." Classical Japan, particularly during the Heian period (794-1185), saw the emergence of unique art forms, including distinctive painting styles like Yamato-e, which reflected Japanese themes and aesthetics. The other options are either inaccurate or do not specifically highlight a significant cultural feature of classical Japan.
