I wonder if the image is only called {yang} if it's a positive image
(the ink forms the image you want to stamp, rather than a negative
image where the ink forms the background and the whitespace forms the
image)?

Because that's what it's called in Chinese:

(Otherwise, it's called "yin" in Chinese, of course.)
