Etegami ...

[Zivio]

I only recently learned about this "Japanese postcard art," (thank you, @jeanwilson) and very much like what I've seen and learned! 

I especially like the simplicity, both in the art and the words which seems to make it very much non-threatening to many who may otherwise say "I don't do art."  Reminds me a bit of sashiko stitching/mending.

My current focus is still on Spencerian for everyday handwriting, but one day ...

Here's a great introduction:

Very nice - I had not learned of this before. I am very enamored with aesthetic of many of the Japanese artists/calligraphers I follow. There is such a clean, thoughtful approach that is simple in its design but not easy to emulate. This postcard art look like a nice relaxed approach.

I hadn't heard of this, but I love the idea. Thanks for sharing!

This is great. I have some students from Japan - this gives me a new cultural question to ask them.
