Assassin's Creed Shadows: Sumi-e Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide
In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Naoe can embrace the artistic traditions of Japan through Sumi-e Paintings. While you can paint standard wildlife throughout the world for minor rewards, the true challenge lies in finding the 5 Legendary Sumi-e.
These represent rare, mythical animals that only appear under specific seasonal and time-of-day conditions. Finding and painting all five is required to unlock the "A Rare Occurrence" trophy/achievement and grants you unique wall decorations for your Hideout.
Beyond the legendary variants, you can occasionally find "Standard" Sumi-e opportunities with common animals like generic macaques, hares, or deer.
These are not marked on the map but will appear as a white brush icon on your compass when you are near a valid animal. They reward small amounts of XP and standard wall arts.
The following table lists all Sumi-e painting spots. You can use it to easily access our AC Shadows interactive map and guide, which will further help you identify their spawn locations across Japan.

You'll find this spot at the end of a road southwest of Maizuru's Lair, southeast of Koromodako Cave, and east of a large pirate ship, atop a rocky cliff. NOTE: This Sumi-e works differently from the others. In order for you to trigger it, enter the clearing at the top of the hill. You should then see the paint icon pop up, indicating a sumi-e nearby. Look up to the sky in the north, and a flock of migrating geese will appear. There is limited time to look in the right direction, so do it quickly and get your focus on them so you can paint.
