    I loved the newsletter. You work fascinates me in the simplicity of it. Tell me more about the a name seal. What do American Etegami artists use for a name seal? Thank you for sharing with all of us.

    You are most appreciated!

      Name seals, professionally carved into wood or stone, and often very ornate, are used in all Japanese (and Chinese) art and calligraphy, but the informality of Etegami suits an informal name seal-- usually carved into rubber erasers, and preferably handmade by the artist him/herself. I've written about the subject several times in this blog, but this post probably covers your question the best:

      I will gladly update the post with new information if you feel something hasn't been explained fully. Keep those questions coming. :)
