Carole sent me this wonderful magpie etegami with a quote from a popular Australian poet. The magpie looks so alive; so mischievous!

hatsue chiba (japan)

A camellia blossom. The black strokes of this image were carved into a ceramic board and printed onto paper using a mixture of sumi and glue for ink. The words say "Waiting for Spring."

shungo asada (japan)

If I am not mistaken, Shungo's etegami shows fukinotou, or butterbur shoot, which is a harbinger of spring. The symbols carved in the big red stamp on the left are a play on words that can be understood as either "Hurry up and come, Spring" or "Pining with Love for Spring."

fumiko koga (japan)

This paper-cut art from Fumiko, depicting a yellow tulip, is cut from stiff light green paper, and is backed by transparent sheets of blue, dark green, and yellow. The words say "Spring is coming!"
