*Japanese
painting incorporates the use of unique
materials,
such as an adhesive (nikawa), Japanese
chalk (gofun),
powdered mineral pigments (iwa-enogu),
natural pigments,
Japanese ink (sumi), and gold and
silver leaf. Various tools
and techniques influenced by
tradition are also employed.
Learning how to make
effective use of such materials, tools,
and techniques
requires considerable patience, ambition,
and spirit
on the part of a artist.
