Hahnemuhle Sumi-E Paper-80gsm has been designed for Japanese Sumi-e painting. This very absorbent paper is ideal for “freestyle” brush painting. “Sumi” means “black ink” and “e” means both “path” and “painting”.
Sumi-e painting evolved in the 5th century from Chinese calligraphy. The main subjects are taken from nature. This painting technique is spreading quickly throughout Europe and Hahnemühle Fine Art offers the ideal paper.
