Haboku

Japanese: 破墨 - はぼく

A technique of ink painting. "Breaking the ink" means "breaking the light ink with light ink," i.e., layering light ink on light ink, or "breaking the light ink with thick ink," a technique of layering ink to create a three-dimensional effect with light and dark ink. It also refers to the final stage of painting (breaking the ink), and means wrinkle techniques such as himankan and fuheki wrinkles. The use of this term in Sesshu's famous "Breaking the ink Landscape" (Tokyo National Museum) may be a misunderstanding on Sesshu's part, or it may simply mean ink painting.

Japanese:

水墨画の技法。「墨を破る」というのは「淡墨をもって淡墨を破る」，すなわち淡墨の上に淡墨を重ね，あるいは「濃墨をもって淡墨を破る」という解釈のように，墨を重ねて墨の濃淡で立体感を表現する技法をいう。また作画の最終工程 (破墨之功) をもさし，皴法 (しゅんぽう) ，たとえば披麻皴，斧劈 (ふへき) 皴を施すことをも意味する。雪舟筆の著名な『破墨山水図』 (東京国立博物館) の用例は雪舟の誤解か，あるいは単に水墨の意味であろう。
