Not exclusively, of course, for instance your art, from what I've seen of it, isn't foreign to sadness and beauty either.Avohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499380851432081366.post-89719500332802907802010-04-05T19:52:04.659-07:002010-04-05T19:52:04.659-07:00alesa, thank you! haboku is gorgeous! and i agre...alesa, thank you! haboku is gorgeous! and i agree- not many good examples of it online. in school, one of my printmaking teachers studied traditional printmaking and calligraphy in her homeland (japan) before coming to the states and her work was just BREATH-TAKING! so beautiful and also such sad work somehow.angela simionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657554247759367168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499380851432081366.post-75740459235581425662010-04-05T12:12:56.619-07:002010-04-05T12:12:56.619-07:00Thanks for the welcome.

A brief google search turned up some of what I remembered: "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/A_black_hawk_and_two_crows_by_Yosa_Buson.jpg"... You might also be interested in looking up haboku (flung ink, a kind of impressionistic style of sumie), but its harder to find good examples of that online, it's a minor subset of not very well represented art form.Avohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499380851432081366.post-67314711349279283952010-04-05T09:42:03.055-07:002010-04-05T09:42:03.055-07:00alesa, hello! and welcome!
