Research- Sumie (Suiboku-ga) historical background and technique


It was introduced to Japan in the mid-14th century by Zen Buddhist monks, and grew in popularity until its peak during the Muromachi period (1338-1573).
About Sumie

The famous master is a Zen Buddhist priest Sesshu Tokyo(1420-1506). His unique style is called Haboku, which is a landscape painting that involves an abstract simplification of forms and freedom of brushwork.
About Sesshu
What I learn from his style is to create third-dimantion by the shade and stroke of black ink in a flat 2D image.

Piccures by Sesshu.
