History of Notan artwork

The concept of notan made its way into Western art after 1854 when Japan opened its ports to trade, resulting in many examples of Japanese art being seen in Europe. The idea of notan became part of art education after Arthur Wesley Dow included it in his 1899 book on art instruction

What is Notan art??

Notan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of light and dark elements as they are placed next to the other in the composition of art and imagery. Originally notan works were created with ink and paper. Ink would be diluted to create darker or lighter brushstrokes, while the white paper provided the light backdrop; the negative space. Using this method and carefully considering the balance of their compositions, Japanese artists create Notan art.
