Ink and grindstone

thumb_IMG_1707_1024

Just a drop of water, not too much

Back and forth, each pass darkens the ink

The sweet smell wafts up

I am ready for the brush

A delicate mass of hair, tied to bamboo

Slowly, precisely, soaking up the blackness

Careful, we only get one chance

Brush meets paper, and the thick line begins

Stroke after stroke, the masterpiece is created

一期一会

“Ichigo Ichie”

One life, one meeting

Today is the only day we have
