Just what I needed to begin.

Brushwork, exercises and pictures were worthwhile to this beginner. Took many attempts but I was able to produce a pretty good rendition of dragonflies using the tenets this book provided.

Everything we needed to get started.

More than just explaining how to use a brush and Ink, we especially like how the author touches on fundamental ideas and concepts behind Japanese Ink painting... which can be just as important (if not more important) than the technical skill of wielding a brush :) The technical stuff is in there, but so is the Zen of sumi. One of the things I realized right away was to clear your mind before your first brush stroke... cuz' what you see is what your gonna get :)

Perfect Library Copy!

Product came in a timely manner, and was perfect! I ended up purchasing a de-commissioned library hard-back copy that has been VERY well taken care of. I've already learned so much just from reading a small amount in this book.
Even though this title was originally printed in 1955, there is still so much good information here. It explains not just technique, but the *heart* of Japanese ink painting, which surprised me. It also gives very detailed info on different brushes, and why one should use ones specifically designed for ink *painting* rather than calligraphy.
All in all, I can see getting a great deal out of this book, and keeping it in my library as excellent reference material. :)

Best book for the beginner to learn the basics of ink painting. Brush technique was fully and completely illustrated and encouraged the user to practice and achieve good basic skills needed to start painting. Excellent.

This is not a great guide to Japanese ink painting. I had to buy another book for my sister as she didn't like this one. I bought Sumi brush techniques.
