Valentine's Day has been on my mind, so my interpretation of the new IF topic is pretty straightforward. The heart-shape inside a sweet red bell pepper. Dedicated to my husband of 34 years.
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.
Love it! What a sweet dedication!
