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.
Ooohhh..hard choice as I like both colours, but today, the red speaks to me just a bit more!

Partial to red for looking, green for eating!

ReplyDeleteI love the details of the red one, it looks so juicy! But, I love to eat green ones.
