THE LINES THAT DEFINE ME

Sousuke Aoyama is a university student. His parents died in an accident and he remains unable to overcome his despair over their deaths. While working his part-time job at an exhibition gallery, he encounters sumi-e (Japanese ink painting) and is fascinated by their power and delicate beauty. Standing nearby, sumi-e master Kozan Shinoda notices Sousuke's fascination with the works and suggests Sousuke become his pupil to learn the art himself. However, Kozan's niece is dismissive of Sousuke and declares her intention to compete with Sousuke for the "Kozan Award." Although Sousuke seemed uninterested in painting at first, he gradually becomes drawn to it with each stroke he draws...

A fast-paced and engaging love letter to the art of sumi-e, based on the novel “Sen wa, Boku o Egaku" by Hiromasa Togami.
