Sumi-e is the Japanese art of black ink painting (“sumi”= black ink, “e”= painting) This simple, yet elegant art form was handed down to Japan from China. A minimal amount of brush strokes are used to create subtle ink paintings that stimulate the imagination. In traditional Japan, Sumi-e (also called Suiboku–ga) was a metaphor for the ephemeral world. Ink-blot paintings also explore interpretations of the abstract, and many artists including Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, Leonardo da Vinci, Victor Hugo and Sandro Botticelli have experimented with inkblot art.
