====================================================

Media:
==Hanshi - Japanese rice paper commonly used for shodou. Measures approximately 10" x 13" (25.4cm x 33.02cm).
== Sumi - Charcoal stick that is ground into water to create ink for shodou and sumi-e.
== Stamp pad specifically designed for hanko (a seal or chop).

Inspiration:
It started with a small spiral to practice making enzo circles (aka 'zen circles') on a fresh sheet of hanshi. Soon I started connecting the spiral to waves. The waves became clouds, and it seemed fitting to add a crescent moon. On the upper right corner is the Japanese character for moon, 月 (つき pronounced “ts-ooh-key”).

Great for:
Places - Bedrooms, reading areas, and any room that needs a little zen inspiration.
People – Night owls, Japanese cultural enthusiasts, and you!

I personally package to protect my artwork from water damage and slight bending before it is mailed to your destination in a durable flat mailer.

I can also create custom paper, artwork, and calligraphy with the words and styles of your choosing. Feel free to convo me and let’s get started.
