瑞巌寺の住職が応接間として利用した部屋である。障壁画は1622年に完成したものであり、本堂にあるものの中で唯一レプリカに置き換えられていない。少量の赤い黄土がインクと混ざり、独特の色合いとなっている。絵師である吉備幸益（生没不明）の落款の痕跡が絵に残っている。モノクロの墨絵は禅美術の特徴であり、建物内の他の部屋と比較しても、墨絵の間は禅寺の典型例であろう。

The head monk of Zuiganji Temple used this room when receiving guests. The ink paintings were completed in 1622 and are the only paintings in the main hall that have not been replaced with replicas. Small amounts of red ochre were mixed with the ink, giving the paintings a distinctive hue. Traces of the artist Kibi Koeki’s (dates unknown) name seal remain on the paintings. Monochrome ink paintings are a hallmark of Zen art, and compared to the other rooms elsewhere in the building the Sumie no Ma is perhaps more typical of a Zen temple.
