For a Suminagashi, fill a tub with water and drip the paint onto its surface with a brush. In this way, round surfaces and circular rings can be created. For a while, everything floats upstairs. It is now in the hands of the artist to change the resulting circles by blowing, stirring or other actions. Each artist develops his own special technique for this. When the motif is ready, place a piece of paper on the surface of the water. This absorbs the color in itself and motif appears on paper. A Suminagashi is never repeatable in the same form and thus the capture of a unique moment. The exact origin of this Japanese technique is unclear. It is believed to date back to the 10th century. In the 17th century, this unique technique came to us in Europe.
