Research into Japanese art, dry brush and culture

For my Wolverine piece that I'm working on at the moment, I am looking into Japanese art and tradition, Dry Brush technique and culture of Japan.

Dry Brush


I really like the style of dry brush and I often use it in my paintings to give some texture to the piece but because of what I've seen of japanese dry brush I've seen that the art is fairly minimalist in that there is no background and the subject matter lets some of the subject matter through. The color pallets are very limited in that they are predominately only a few colors, black and white. They are also painted on a textured type of paper so I will see what I can find and if unsuccessful cartridge paper will suffice.
Each genuine piece of art that's come from an oriental country has a red stamp of approval to show which region it comes from. I won't use this in my work because I consider it would be disrespectful 
seeing as that I am not a traditional Japanese artist and it hasn't actually come from the place.
