Ink wash animation (Chinese: 水墨动画; pinyin: Shuǐmò dònghuà) is an animation style that is unique to China. This style combines both Chinese traditional aesthetics of Shui-mo and modern animation techniques.[1] It first appeared in 1961 with the first Chinese ink-wash animation Tadpoles Searching for Mother.[2] After the 1990s, film studios gradually gave up ink-wash animation production due to the high demand in cost and techniques.[3]
