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.
でびーさんへ
ReplyDeleteお誕生日カード、いいですねー。
プリンセスなの?いい名前だわー。
しかし、でびーさんの頭の中は、アイデアであふれかえってるかんじ。いつも、どれ見ても、ため息でます。
ありがとう。娘は「プリンセス」が名前じゃなくて、「姫」という意味を持つ別の名前ですよ。:)
