Here is my latest illustrated recipe. I painted it for TDAC'sCooking 4 Kids contest. It's a simplified version of the Sushi Jewels on my cooking blog Itadakimasu!
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.
It sounds like something I could try...
ReplyDeleteVery neat.
What a wonderful idea! I just love this, both the art and the recipe.
