INTRO: Chinese & JApanese writing & Pictures

SUMI-E is the Japanese word for Black Ink Painting. East Asian Painting and writing developed together in ancient China over 2000 years ago using the same materials —brush and ink on paper. Emphasis is placed on the beauty of each individual stroke of the brush. The Chinese speak of “writing a painting” and “painting a poem.” A great painting was judged on three elements: the calligraphy strokes, the words of the poetry or Haikus (often with double meanings and subtle puns) and the ability of the painting strokes to capture the spirit (Ch’i) of nature rather than a photographic likeness. The artists of Japan, Korea and Malaysia learned from the Chinese and then developed their own versions of East Asian brush painting.

Japanese sumi e - The Four gentleman

The Four Gentlemen refers to four subjects that most painting students learn first because they include all of the basic strokes. They also represent the four seasons:

1. Bamboo - Summer - symbol of endurance and flexibility
