haboku definition and meaning

What is "haboku"?

Haboku is a Japanese painting technique that involves applying ink or paint in a free, expressive way to create a sense of freedom and lively brushwork. Often used in traditional Japanese ink painting, this technique emphasizes bold, irregular strokes and a rough, textured look. The result is an impressive and flowing effect, capturing the natural quality of the subject rather than focusing on small details. Haboku is valued for its ability to convey emotion and movement, making it a popular choice in East Asian art for both landscapes and abstract designs.
