How is the Japanese style Sumi-e translated in China? Would it be present here?

That's great, thanks.

There is a drawing style in Japan which is called sumi-e, which I like very much. It's black and white, very stylised, giving a sense with just a few strokes. Is there something similar in China? How would it be called? I tried to use sumi-e but the results are quite different

Not knowing much about art history, there are many schools of traditional Chinese painting that also influenced Southeast Asia. Maybe you can refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ink_wash_painting

Thank you very much. Indeed I don't know much about art history. :-D
