These are ancient paintings of animals that Naoe or Yasuke can create in the wild. A painting icon appears on your compass and map when you're nearby. Crouch and sneak up to the animal; hold L2/LT to complete the painting.

Legendary Sumi-E don't appear on the map, making them trickier to find. There are five in total, and availability depends on the in-game season.
