Echizen Washi

I finished using this whole long sumi ink !!!

It is my first time !!  Yey ! It took one and half years for me.... I don't know if it's too long or too short.

You can tell about its original size from the one of the small box. It cost 7000 JPY for one block. It's worth using it for my sumi work though and I enjoyed rubbing them ( hope it's a correct word ! ).

I don't earn much money in my daily life and don't hesitate to say I'm poor in materials ( but rich ! very rich in spirits ). But I invest all my earnings on this art tools.... not on clothes or fashions.....  which hopefully will turn out to be a correct decision in the end  !

( The letters in Japanese says ` First time finishing ` )
