Sumie painting (Japanese Culture Book 7)

In the orient, when we use a fude (brush) to write letters,<br />it usually is long and the end pointed. Using this type of fude, <br />by covering it in ink one can draw both thin and bold lines. <br />Even if there is little ink, called "sumi" on the fude, <br />one can paint an interesting "kasure", or faded, misty style.<br />It is my pleasure to introduce to you about 80 Sumie paintings <br />by Ohkubo Fuhkoh. Many of her pictures are seldom known <br />and are like buried treasures. <br />You will learn to understand these interesting and subtle lines <br />using oriental fude. I hope you enjoy seeing them.<br />+++All profits from sales will be donated to the victims of the East Japan Earthquake.+++
