I like shrimp much as food. It would cost more if you want to add shrimp on a normal fried rice,though.
Tips:
Head: The brush needs to lie, and the top of brush will depict the top of head.
Body: first big later smaller
Tail: Press the hair of brush to make it flat and wipe water out of the brush a little. The hair of top flat of brush will express the notch of tail

I was believing Bodhidharma was Japanese. Because I played a game called "dharma-san" a lot. This is said "tag" in my dictionary. (as always no idea for the right words) anyway, everybody knows a tag called dharma-san ga koronda. and lots of designed dharma figure coloured red are here. even I loved to have a "dharma box lunch" at Takasaki station which was on the way to the country house. It futures the dhrma face(see the link). So my image of dharma is from this box lunch and thought evry kind person like a priest in the cinema.
The real bodhidharma was not like today's deformed one. He was very stubborn and severe. He was from India, so he got large eyes and long nose. I was surprised at Hakuin or Sesshu bodhidharma paintings because they have very severe dharma san.
Tips:
1. Front neckband is the key to draw the tradional asian figure wearing kimono style clothes. I made the hard line first which was inspired by the Hakuin's line and Sesshu's cave rock line.
2. First, light black (more water than usual) is on the eyebrow, then before getting dry fully, put more black stroke added. So you can get some depth, profound expression.

I once climbed to the top of there to see the sun rise. After two hour way, the bus arrived at the half point to the top. It was around six o'clock in the evening. a walking thru the night until midnight. The sun rise from the top was exciting view. more than that I still remember the fun jumping down walk on the back way.
Tips:
1. Draw the mountains around Mt.Fuji. Mt. Fuji from Tokyo is seen like this. These mountains locate in Hakone area where good hot springs is. To draw mountans, you need lay the brush and move side, so that the thick sumi ink on the top of the brush can depict the ridge line and can express the vague cloud hiding part
2. The angle of mountain Fuji is needed to exaggerate so that anyone can understand what you draw. Start with thin line and at the middle of the ridge, push the brush and throw it down. The shaft of the brush and the line direction goes toward the same way whereas the surrounding mountains are drawn by the side slide.
3. The shade of the hill: first light move and push, then run.

Tried to show ink stone process this time
Nishiki-goi, colourful carp, are one of items which reminds us of Japanese cerebrity life, was creative breeding work in sixteenth century in Niigata pref., the nothern area in Japan.
Nishiki-goi swims gourgeous like kimono girls. very fun to see.
Some might hear about Chinese old saying, carp turns out dragon climbing the waterfall. We say To-ryu-mon, literery climb, dragon, gate, for the new comer contest. American Idle is kinds of to-ryu-mon of artists.
I draw this inpired by the old sixteenth carp painting which I bought in London. The wild carp shapes not like glamorous body of nishiki-goi but dull bullet streamline. So does this carp.
Tips:
1. Two barbels
2. Eyes are small but there are circles around eyes.
3. Pectoral must be depicted precisely, because this is the key point of carp. Imagine the wing of birds.
4. Scales.... your choice. precise or smoothing. I say, just line it. then drip sumi-ink over.

The spring blows in the wind. We call the strong wind in February "Haru Ichi-ban",(litterally the First Spring, meaning the wind which blows very early in the spring) and know the winter has almost gone.
Then, the cherry blossom season will come in April. Schools starts new year, the fiscal year of most companies in Japan starts. April is the special month for us to recall the nervous feeling in the new class start. Cherry blossom is the symbol of these.
Tips:
Cherry blossom could be tough motif for some of you, especially the shape of each flower. Too round looks like the plum and too much oval looks something diffrent. ONe of important technique of sumi-E is "omitting", "cut middle" or whatever you're saying (sorry, I have merely funny words). I mean, the cherry blossom has five piece of petal but you don't need paint all of that... more tips please go to my blog,,,short of this space

Is it snowing over there??
Tips:
1. In sumi-E painting, the colour of the rice paper is the etreme white. The snowfield is expressed without no drawing, which means the snow will show up the outline.
2. The creek muste be depicted the black which splush out the snow white.
3. Mind the contrast expression will work. See Rembrandt way of painting, he depicts the collar very white. It works to emphasize the face.
4. The black creek streak play a role which takes the viewing eye movement away to the far away mountains. It recalls viewers some memories.

Tips:
1. To paint the feather of body, would be good way to twist and widen the hair of brush. Use this technique almost all process of painting the oal.
2. The face is round. Keep short strokes and shape the face round.
3. The beak is hard and solid, sticking solidly downward. the most black sumi-ink is needed.

Kids here used to have goldfish breeding in an old brazier, which was dumped in a backyard. At the beginning of the summer vacation, they came to see goldfish and to give foods every morning. But when the summer has gone, they almost forgot about these tiny fish. And in the autumn festival season, they got fun for "Kingyo sukui", catch goldfish, but it didn't helo to recall their goldfish..
The next spring comes, they happened to find goldfish growing in mossed brazier. die hard fish.
