The drawing, as something distinct from the finished painting, is a concept peculiar to the West—or perhaps we should qualify that by adding "until recent times," since Japan has by now more or less assimilated Western concepts and techniques in art. In the Far East the paintings may be of greater or less elaboration, but they are all paintings—drawn with the same brushes, employing the same ink or color washes; in the West, on the other hand, certain media such as pencil, charcoal, sanguine, and others are used only for drawings and by their nature tend to act as a limit to size. The only nearparallel to Western drawing in Japanese art is the preparatory sketch—the under-drawing or sh it'a-e—from, or upon which, an artist would develop his final version for scroll or screen or color print.
