So sorry to hear about the numerous typhoons you are having, I knew it was serious because of the news but from here we don't fully realize the extent on the mind when no sunshine is present. Though sometimes in Germany where we lived for a few years it was the case: no sunshine for months in a row or at least it is what I remember... and one of the reason to move away. Thinking of you.
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.
