Sumie -- a Japanese art that embodies the spirit of quietness and peace
Simple color tones and spatial balance have always been
core values of traditional Sumie. The delicate nuances of the tones and the
empty spaces create soothing aesthetics in every painting. Unfortunately, the
traditional concepts of Japanese beauty are being overlooked in recent years
because of changes in lifestyle. As our daily lives are overwhelmed with
innumerable colors and diverse distractions, we tend to forget the value of
simplicity.
Sumie is an art that incorporates the simple and bare
beauties foundational to Zen teaching. My wish is to share the bliss of the
quiet and peace that Sumie can offer.
For those who are interested, our international
exhibition “Art Beyond Boundaries” at the National Art Center in Tokyo is open
to anyone who would like to visit.
