Etegami painting 絵手紙
coverE.jpg

I would like to introduce you to "etegami," a type of postcard that is popular across a wide range of generations in Japan (approximately 150,000 people).
Koike Kunio, the creator of etegami, believes that "letters that resonate with people's hearts can move many people," and he combines poetry, prose, and pictures in his etegami.
As you may have noticed, the flowers are drawn larger than they would be in real life. Even though they are small, they are dynamic and impressive. That is etegami.

日本で幅広い世代に支持されている(約15万人)「絵手紙」についてご紹介します。
絵手紙の作者である小池邦夫さんは、「人の心に響く手紙は、多くの人に感動を与えることができる」と考え、絵手紙に詩と文章と絵を三位一体で表現しました。
さて、お気づきかと思いますが、花は実際の花よりも大きく描かれています。小さな絵手紙に描かれていても、ダイナミックで印象的です。それが絵手紙です。
