Memories from Japan. 冬の日本




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.

  5. How beautiful your painting is! Love the expression of the girl. So peaceful. Ink is versatile and rich, it creates a depth for imagination.
    Can'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!

    Tu es très douée.
