手描きの技 筆書き

Hand-drawn technique: Brush Painting

Although the development of printing technology has led to a whole host of new painting styles, there is a group of traditional Japanese artists that still find the beauty in painting by hand with a simple brush. They believe that nothing can beat the intricacy and creativity of a freehand pattern drawn on a plain vessel. Some place their pots and bowls on a rotating stand and draw lines while rotating the vessel in one smooth and fluid movement. Some use different methods, straight from the corners of their imagination. However, they have one thing in common: all of the pieces are unique and undeniably beautiful.
