They are absolutely wonderful! I just recently found out what Etegami is (loved the beautiful etegami postcards I buy in Japan but never knew what they were called). I enjoy your website. Thanks for sharing your art.
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.
out of hand? No! I think it's a great theme to follow and I particularly like the plum in rice ball etegami
