I took my first lesson in Sumi-e two weeks ago. I haven't painted in over 6 years--it felt quite liberating to feel the brush touch the ink then paper. As I practice on my own time I find it so soothing and relaxing. I see the power and passion coming through the strokes.
水墨畫 is a Chinese way of painting. Sumi-e is only a Japanese name for the same thing.
This page should merge with Suiboku.
- Under which name? I note on the Suiboku article that all the prominent artists named are Japanese. Exploding Boy 20:46, Jan 4, 2005 (UTC)

- Well, both names are transliterated Japanese words, so Chinese v. Japanese bias hardly enters into it. Google gives far more results for sumi-e (460k v 7k), so I guess we should make that the main article title. I also think sumi-e is probably a better known to English speakers of the two terms. Although I may just think that because of the Photoshop filter called sumi-e. --Carl 04:54, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
[edit] links
You might want to take a look through your external links section-- I found one that wasn't related to painting at all, and another that was in japanese and therefore unintelligible to almost any wikipedia user; I didn't look at all of them, but I'm sure that some better refrences can be found.
