History
There are various versions of the origin of the ebru technique. Its homeland is called China , Japan , Uzbekistan , India , Pakistan , Persia and other countries. So, around the 12th century, the art of Suminagashi ( Japanese floating ink ) existed in Japan. Shinto monks used this technique to apply patterns to paper and fabric. Passion for this art was so widespread that it swept the emperor and his courtiers [1] .
In Turkey, the technique of drawing on the water appeared in the VII century. But the current name began to be used only after three centuries. Turkish masters so mastered this technique that in addition to abstract and floral patterns they could create realistic images [1] .
Technique
The surface to create the picture is water. So that the paints do not sink and do not mix, hevea extract is added to it. Paints made from bovine bile and special minerals spread over the surface. With the help of thin sticks, the artist gives the stains the desired look [1] .
