"Sumizuri-e" by Jihei Sugimura is a term that refers to a style of Japanese woodblock printing that is characterized by the use of only black ink, without any color. Jihei Sugimura, an artist active during the Edo period, is known to have produced works in this style. "Sumizuri-e" translates to "ink printed pictures" and is distinguished by its monochromatic aesthetic, which relies on the skillful use of ink gradations and line work to create depth and detail.

Jihei Sugimura, whose life and career details are sparse, contributed to the ukiyo-e genre, which depicted the "floating world" of transient pleasures and kabuki theater scenes popular in Japan from the 17th through the 19th centuries. While Sugimura's works may not be as well-known as those of his contemporaries, such as Hokusai or Hiroshige, his sumizuri-e prints are valuable for their depiction of the cultural and artistic milieu of the time.

The technique used in sumizuri-e involves careful control of the printing process, where the artist or printer applies ink to the woodblock and then presses paper onto it to create the image. This method allowed for subtle variations in tone, which could suggest dimensionality and texture even without the use of color. The simplicity and elegance of sumizuri-e prints have been appreciated for their artistic qualities and their ability to convey the essence of a subject with minimal means.
