With her deep understanding of both the technical and spiritual aspects of this ancient art form, she expertly guides the reader through the required materials and techniques, while conveying the cultural and historical background to this refined art.
The book features numerous ink paintings and simple exercises, making it ideal for anyone wishing to learn the skills associated with Sumi-e and to understand the philosophy behind it. A practical and informative text on a traditional form of Japanese ink painting.
The author successfully conveys both the spiritual and technical aspects of Sumi-e to a modern Western audience. A visually striking book for anyone who appreciates Japanese tradition, style, and art.
