Masking Ink and Yumemoji


Sumi has attracted me so much. I especially like the color of Bokkon which are the traces of ink that you wrote with a brush and Mizukuki which is marks of a brush.

But I sometimes want some color for my works even though it is not usual to put some colors for calligraphy. I got to learn some a special skill which is called Raden. Radan is a craft skill that you use shells and shave it in a shape and put it on a paper clothe or wooden flame. My art works are all created with the skill so it has many colors from shells so they look very shiny. It shows you its details and it attracts you as new type of calligraphy.

I got to know about “masking ink” for drawings.
