Japan was for many years a country of dreams and inspiration, until, two years ago in January ... Elsa's papa was sent to work in japan for some weeks. Elsa and I followed.
She was about to turn 5 at the time, curious and enthousiastic, she immensely enjoyed it... the hot springs and many temples specially, and to our surprise - she who had never been much interested in food - raw fish and dry squid!
1. Elsa's watercolour inspired by camelia, then in bloom in Tokyo. 2-4. Nikko. 5. Tokyo bay. 6. one of my old painting, now in Elsa's room.
Ah, so beautiful, and still a land of dreams. Look at thouse beautiful mountains! And what a talented painter you are. A work of pure perfection.

RépondreSupprimerHow beautiful your painting is! Love the expression of the girl. So peaceful. Ink is versatile and rich, it creates a depth for imagination.
RépondreSupprimerCan't agree more, Japan is a country of dreams. It's full of inspirations and wonders. I really admire that the way they respect traditional cultures, preserve and revive traditional crafting techniques.
Thanks so much for sharing, dear Amelie!
J'ai assisté jeudi soir à une représentation de théâtre comique japonais, le shuogen. Un spectacle offert à la France en remerciement de la générosité des français deuxième pays après les USA, pour son aide.
