This is part of a series of work I'm slowly creating, as yet unnamed but I've been jokingly dubbing it 'Ukiyo-e without the wood'. Unlike the more airy Sumi-e paintings, I'm more interested in the rigid outlines of Japanese woodblock prints, but these are unique original paintings.
For this painting, I use Sumi-e ink, Japanese watercolours which tend to be more opaque, and the more transparent European watercolours I've used traditionally for the oranges. This painting is on delicate Japanese Washi paper.
This painting is 28cm x 23cm in size.
Regarding the Hanko (traditional Japanese personal seal): You’ll see it in the photos, but not the scan,
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.
