Product Description
Product Description
“This study of Japanese ink painting is as much about philosophy and poetry as it is about putting brush to paper. Artisan Okamoto clearly describes the unique materials and techniques involved, and she beautifully illustrates each lesson. The highly readable writing style is personal, poetic, and inspiring....Well recommended.”—Library Journal. “Excellent ...for middle school through adult levels.”—School AA.

a good intoduction to Sumi-e,
By
This review is from: Japanese Ink Painting: The Art of Sumi-E (Hardcover)
A good introduction for a beginner, including but not limited to the 4 traditional subjects( orchids/bamboo/plum blossoms/chrysanthemum) . The subjects chosen are simple: a tulip, crocuses, pears, simple landscape of a lake with a boat... and correspond to western taste and interest. I only question the fish as first subject. Good luck for a beginner to draw that fish! The fins/head/eye are not easy at all unless you have a very good mastery of the brush. But overall I think that this book is excellent to introduce Sumi-e to westerners. Naomi's book is like the Sumi-e she presents, simple, concise,unpretentious, friendly, only few words to express the essential. I recommend this book to a Sumi-e beginner.

Wonderful Overall Book,
By Zachary Bass (Tokushima, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Japanese Ink Painting: The Art of Sumi-e (Paperback)
Okamoto covers the most essential areas of the art of sumi-e in a balanced and objective approach. I learned a lot while reading her book and it moved me to learn more things about sumi-e. The pictures, paper, and book itself are of high quality, and is interesting to look through even if you do not paint with inks. A wonderful book, I reccomend it to anyone interested in Asian art. Also makes a great gift.
