絵
え
Grade: 2

From Middle Chinese 繪 (yuaih, reconstructed by some linguists as ɦuɑiH).

The goon reading, so likely the initial borrowing. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Usage notes

The kanji 絵 and 画 (also pronounced e, but can also be pronounced as ga), both having the same meanings and on-readings, can be confusing. While 絵 is used to mean pictures in the "drawn" sense (for example, 挿 (さし)絵 (え) (sashie), "illustration"), it can also refer to art in front of the speaker, such as 浮 (うき)世 (よ)絵 (え) (ukiyo-e, “ukiyo-e”) or 蒔 (まき)絵 (え) (makie, “sprinkled lacquer”). 画 refers to art by extension, for example, 日 (に)本 (ほん)画 (が) (nihonga, “Japanese painting”). Sometimes, both kanji can be interchanged, an example being 影 (かげ)絵 (え), 影 (かげ)画 (え) (kage-e, “shadow play”)
