In Ghost of Yotei, there are 18 hidden Sumi-e locations. You can spot them by looking for a pillar covered in yellow flowers with a drawing mat nearby. Interacting with each Sumi-e location will reward you with a new vanity gear item. However, unlike other collectibles, finding all 18 does not grant an additional gear reward.
