These are ancient animal paintings that Naoe or Yasuke can create. A painting icon appears on your compass and map when nearby. Crouch, sneak up, and hold L2/LT to complete the painting. Unlike regular Sumi-E, Legendary Sumi-E aren't marked on the map, making them more challenging to find. Their availability also depends on the in-game season.
