Kawa Uso Otter Sumie Kakejiku

川獺かわうそ墨絵

This is another painting by Mariusz Szmerdt. It is for sale and if you want to purchase the wallscroll contact to sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com. It  I kept this in the Maru Hyougu style because I wanted to keep it simple. I used a Navy silk with an Aka Renga (Brick Red) Ichimonji with a large Karakusa (arabesque).

In contrast to the other scroll, I kept the Kakehimo and the Jikusaki dark to be almost invisible. The Kakehimo is the kogecha color, and the Jikusaki is the Kokutan (ebony) style. I liked the scroll, except that there was a little Uki in the Ichimonji that I was not happy with.
