BINSEARCH GEEFT SOMS EEN REQUIRES PASSWORD PROTECT, DIT IS NIET JUIST !!


Japanese brush painting is a relatively recent development and emerged out of the Buddhist schools of calligraphy (Shodo). 
The ancient art of Japanese brush painting, or sumi-e, is strikingly beautiful, simple and pure, yet strong and resonant. 
Closely related to Zen philosophy, the art of sumi-e is executed with black ink on white rice paper using bamboo brushes. 
Subjects in Japanese brush painting include landscapes, flowers, or animals, anything that suggests a 
closeness to the natural world.
