Sumie-e:The Japanese Art of Paiting.

Sumi-e, literally "ink picture" was first introduced to Japan from China by
Zen priests during the 13th century. Like shodoh or Japanese calligraphy, it
is a monochromatic style of painting in which a simple brush is used with
black ink to paint on white rice paper.
The traditional subject matter of sumi-e paintings is landscapes, objects
from nature such as bamboo, flowers and leaves and sometimes animals or
people. Sumi-e is characterized by simple lines and strokes designed to
capture the essence of a given subject and is very much tied into the tenets
of Zen spirituality.
While sumi-e is traditionally painted with black ink on white paper, over
the years this art form evolved and many wonderful examples of sumi-e can be
seen painted on silk and using a variety of colored inks.

Oh Yasmin, they are beautiful! I know I can make use of them for my
woodburning hobbie! Hope you don't mind. I seem to have developed an
incurable disease! It's called "snagemonthefly" and the doctor doesn't
hold out much hope for any imrovements LOL !

This is really beautiful Rosamary. I have always likes Sumi-e because of its uncluttered simplicity, and you have chosen a superb selection for this post.

Absolutely the most perfect, simplistic and stylish art of painting I know ... and yet one of the most intricate and difficult
skills to master ... I wish I could!!
You have put these gorgeous pieces of art in a most wonderful surrounding!!
I love the way you "transparented" the background through the images.
Script snagged, for sure!!!

Your words are the perfect definition for the Sumi-e painting, Helen. There
is another oriental art that I appreciate very much: Ikebana. I don't know
the art of painting, but I make beautiful Ikebana creations...this is very
relaxing, Helen.

I could have known you were an Ikebana lover ... being surrounded in the flowers and plants world ..
Ikebana has been quite a trend for long years in Holland, yet nowadays I only get to see the better creations in the best of the
best flower shops.
Too bad I think because one beautifully arranged ikebana piece of art, placed in a carefully chosen spot in your living room makes
such a difference .... but then ... only if you're really into clean, open space and lots of light ... again ... simplicity rules
... no clutterness allowed ... no abundance, but the sheer delight and wealth of a few delicate lines and/or shapes ... wonderful
:o))))
