I don't think that it's an issue of envying God, though there are those who do. Many of those you present as examples are ones who do not even believe in such an entity in order to envy it. A Buddhist does not envy YHWH because they seek enlightenment, the question isn't even germane to them.
Though I'm curious which style of japanese art you're referring to.
