Overview
Classes at the School are given in seminars of 5 or 9 days throughout the year, in various locations.
The 5 day seminars given at Versailles also address the theory of sumi-e.
The 5 or 9 day seminars outside Versailles are exclusively focused on practice.
All seminars offer zen meditation, in the morning before sumi-e, in the evening after sumi-e.
Practice is based on repeating models, in a gradation designed to fit into the school duration, i.-e. on 4 years. For more information about the painting method itself, you may visit What is sumi-e by Beppe Mokuza.
