a new etegami newsletter

There has been a rising demand for an affordable English language substitute for the JES (Japan Etegami Society) monthly magazine "Gekkan Etegami," which is both outrageously expensive and (obviously) all written in Japanese. So I've decided to put together a monthly English-language newsletter devoted to the subject of etegami. I hope to summarize some of the more relevant articles in the JES magazine, as well as explain the history, trends, and techniques of traditional Etegami. I also want to introduce the works of popular Japanese etegami artists and current etegami contest information. It will be in the form of a PDF file, starting out at two pages per issue. I hope to send it out by email attachment at the beginning of each month, and it will be FREE of charge.
I hope to get the first issue ready to ship by October 1.  If you want to sign up for a copy, send your email address to dosankodebbie (at) yahoo (dot) co (dot) jp

    Arigato gozaimasu, Debbie-san! I am in the process of learning how to paint small watercolors. I wonder if this is where I'm headed :)
    You are a blessing to all of us!
