What is special? / Sumie WorkshopThere is no mistake in sumie painting, especially in the sumie class. Sumie can make you free from all including sadness and bad mood and so on. Both adults and children can enjoy painting together at the same moment. It also makes you go over the all walls of generations, nations, genders, and more. Sumie is easy and simple and interesting, so we can do it easily. In this point, it could be called Momentary Painting. That's because children can paint 10-20 paintings in an hour and they can keep their concentrations in the entire class without any boring. That's amazing things. Please check out about Children in usual. You can find the sumie class great. Anyway, Sumie is so fun and easy, and simple.That makes you have fun. That makes you glad and happy.

We had many classes for artists in any materials. If you have an interest of it and if you want to learn it more deeply than the class Experience, you should take another class, which is called sumie class Master by Toyokuni Honda.

Review"Review and Overall rating on Veltra.com" EnglishSumi-e Class "Experience" English "First time experience SUMIE" English Yuta Honda / InstructorSumie Instructor / The director of the Toyokuni Atelier gallery / A son of Sumie master Toyokuni HondaI started a sumie class Experience for international people on April 2015. I have participated in a lot of sumie classes of the Master Toyokuni Honda as a director or a facilitator since 2009. I turned the class into not only lesson but also entertaining one. I made it simpler and easier than father's class. That's why particularly the beginners of painters and tourists love this class. Not only adults but also children can have so much fun with sumie painting easily. Enjoying first, anyway paint something. I want to remove all of sadness away from the world with sumie painting. Hi I'm Yuta! Anyway I want to see you and share fun of sumie painting and Japanese calture with you at the gallery. I want you to come just to talk with me about everything and anything. Please make a local friendship with me! Thank you, Yuta 
What is Sumie painting?Sumie is known as Ink Wash Painting or Black And White Painting in the world. It's the one of the traditional ways of painting in Japan. Sumie is painted in Indian Ink with brushes on Japanese unique paper. Usually, it is expressed drawing lines and making gradations and a few coloring by Japanese pigment colors. When Sumie painters express something, they are trying to make the motifs symbolized simply, because there is not any lines in the world indeed. We can feel lines but no lines exist. So they need to symbolized anything they paint.That is very interesting point of Sumie painting. That means when we do a sumie painting, we paint all in our heads before expressing. We complete it at once in our heads. That's why children also has so much fun with adults at the same moment. I found it a few years ago, so I can understand I should have the sumie class Experience and Doodle for all over the world. |

What is Sumie Doodle?Sumie Doodle is painting in indian ink(Sumi) with Japanese brushes(Fude) on a rice paper(Washi). That's so simple and easy. I have enjoyed it with a lot of children and the visitors to this country around everyday.
For childrenIt's a great time for children. They have so much fun and make a bright smile. They can release off their sadness and some negative feelings at the moment. They will smile and smile in painting and after painting. And they make the chain of smiles with their family and friends and people around them, connecting with smile and smile.
For intergenerational exchangesIt's not easy to control to draw lines with a fude brush. That's why they children and adults can begin to paint Sumie Doodle from the same starting line. That makes them so much fun. In this point, no differences between adults and children. Adults can get a lot impacts with big imaginations and creativities of children.This is the most wonderful way to have communications each other. 
For cultural exchangesSumie Doodle is simple but profound painting. It's also interesting. It would be the mostly simplest and deepest enjoyment in the world. Doodle and uncontrollable lines would attract you with painting more and more.Do you feel it wonderful thing that we all of people in the world are painting the same one painting at the same time? Chain of smilesWhen all of the guests get back their home, they would smile. They all make a happily smile. As children got smile, their parents would also have a smile with seeing them laugh and smile. After getting back their home, their grandparents would also make a smile with their smiling. It's the Chain of Smile. Smile produces smiles. It would be a small thing, but important.We can have Sumie Doodle classes EVERYWHERE. Please don't hesitate to email us to get more informations if you have an interest of this. Our purpose is spreading some fun with sumie on a traditional culture of Japan. Sumie Doodle can make your sad mood happy and fine in 15 mins. And it would save the world!!! Let's come together with us for our future!! The power of DoodleA doodle has a great power, not only Sumie but also other materials. According to “Psychology Today”, doodle would make some bad mood better around 15 minutes. It would make the painter get relaxing. And more GOOD things was confirmed on it.
