*** About Sumi-e Painting: Sumi-e, or ink wash painting, is a form of East Asian brush painting that uses black ink—the same used in calligraphy. Originating in China during the Tang dynasty, it later gained popularity in Japan and Korea. Sumi-e seeks to capture the essence of an object or scene in the fewest possible strokes, a practice that prioritizes simplicity, grace, and beauty. Artists must master control of their brush, using it to express both boldness and subtlety. Typically focusing on natural subjects like landscapes, flowers, and animals, sumi-e also subtly conveys the artist's own perceptions and emotions, making each piece uniquely revealing.
