I wanted to experiment with this incredibly thin rice paper to see what it allows me to do. I allowed the waterpaint to move how it wants with minimal control, which gives the painting a more spontaneous look. I love how the white highlights stand out in contrast to the more eggshell colour of the paper. Please note that the paper has quite a bit of texture as it's very thin.
This painting is 27cm x 24cm in size.
Regarding the Hanko (traditional Japanese personal seal): Back when I lived in Japan, my 'Papa', who was actually more like 'grandpa', whose family sort of adopted me, spent a lot of time with a huge kanji dictionary putting together characters for my name. He was a Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) practitioner, and he wanted to choose characters for my Japanese name that fit my personality, but was also balanced and artistic. Papa is no longer with us, but the characters he gifted me will adorn my Japan-inspired art from now on.
