Etegami (e= "picture"; tegami= "letter/message") are simple drawings accompanied by a few apt words. They are usually done on postcards so that they can be easily mailed off to one's friends. Though etegami has few hard-and-fast rules, traditional tools and materials include writing brushes, sumi ink, blocks of water-soluble, mineral-based pigments called gansai, and washi postcards that have varying degrees of "bleed." They often depict some ordinary item from everyday life, especially items that bring a particular season to mind.
Looks good! I love salmon and the chan chan yaki word too.
ReplyDeleteDeeeeeeeeeelicious illustration. Love it.
ReplyDeleteすばらしいサーモンですね。
ReplyDeleteその大きさと美味しそうなお料理が想像できます。
北海道ではよくチャンチャン焼きするんでしょうね。
鉄板が家庭にあるから、nikkiもトライしてみようかな?
etgaminikkiさん、ぜひトライしてみてください。味噌ソースには普通はみりんや砂糖も入るんですけど、私は野菜の甘みだけで十分なので、余計な甘味料は入れません。
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious! I think you could get this cookbook published ;)
ReplyDeleteVery Nice Debbie. Love the colours of the fish.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so cool! I like your style, Deborah!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouraging comments, people. It's only January, and I'm already falling behind in my illustrated recipe series. (panic!)
