Editor's Note:
Japanese art has made much headway in the world during the last decade and one of the principal reasons is the popularity of sumi-e or “ink-painting.” Though originally an expression of Zen Buddhism, it has gained such renown that artists of many countries have adopted its techniques which create a simple, beautiful, and restful effect. The art comes to us from China where it was practiced by Zen priests who later introduced it in Japan. Because of its religious beginnings, sumi-e painting has often been said to require extreme self-discipline, concentration, detachment, and contemplation. “To appreciate and understand the art more fully, “ writes the author, “one must first endeavor to look at the world through another set of eyes… The characteristic of the sumi-e artist has been to represent only the most expressive or important feature of each element of the matter. Consequently, details, perspective, and colors are usually omitted.” For the beginner, this booklet is the perfect place to start. Learning the basic strokes that will later combine to form rocks, bamboo, pine needles, etc., the aspiring artist finds that what looks simple requires much effort of mind and body. The numerous illustrations in the booklet provide the different components for the artist to complete his own finished work, thereby injecting his own personality into the picture. For as author Momiyama says, “Just as in the West a man’s character is revealed in his handwriting, so in China and Japan a man’s character is revealed in his brush strokes and lines."
