Sumi-e (Black Ink Painting)
Sumi-e is an austere monochrome stule of painting.
It was introduced in the 14th Century from China and developed into a Japanese style.
Paintings are created with a technique involving black ink and brush painting originally devised by Zen Monks.
Assembly of detailed parts cannot make a Sumi-e painting. In other words, Sumi-e is about harmony and balance.
It is the balance of black and white, balance of light and shadow.
