Japanese ink drawing

Japanese ink drawing, known as sumi-e or suibokuga, is a traditional art form characterized by the use of black ink (sumi) and water to create monochrome paintings. The term “sumi-e” translates to “black ink painting,” where “sumi” means ink and “e” means painting. This art form emphasizes simplicity and the beauty of negative space, capturing the essence of subjects, often from nature, through careful brushwork and the interplay of light and shadow.
