Thank you for the experience of interconnectedness.

Wow! Such a beautiful performance.

Beautiful💮

I really like this video. The background music is as loud as your voice and makes it hard to hear what you are saying. Would you consider redoing the video without the music so we can hear just the sound of your voice, and the sound of the inkstick grinding on the stone, just as it would be when we make ink, ourselves? Thank you.

Thank-you for the well-made video. To see in detail what you are explaining is refreshing. Wonderful pacing. There is “getting started” and there is “getting started correctly”. Yours is the latter. Thanks for your insights.

Thank you for this video. Very helpful!

Welp, I read that title wrong 😂

Thank you.

Thank you. 감사합니다. 선생님.

Such a beautiful video. Thank you Junko for sharing. Watching this brought me a lot of peace. This taught about more that just using an ink stick on an ink stone. You are a beautiful teacher with a beautiful soul.

Superb! The love and the spirit behind and within your art can be felt as a combination of art for art's sake + art for humanity's sake. I admire your works and am grateful to the people who helped create this video.

Masterfully Beautiful, amazing how you bring to life everything with your brush and strokes. Thanks for sharing, greetings from Germany :)

Konnichiwa Junko Azukawa San. Ma'am that was exquisite, everything you create is a part of everything else. As you say everything is connected, we are all connected to each other and the very fabric of the Universe. The law of the conservation of energy says energy cannot be created or annihilated, only changed into something different. So we, all of us, everything on this planet is as old as the Universe. The beautiful art you create is a part of that connectedness, to see the brush flow across the paper is seeing your thoughts made whole and a part of the visual landscape we observe. But I am rambling, it is because of how your art connects to me that sets the train of thought in motion. Thank you again for sharing your own connection with your art with everyone. I hope you have had a good holiday season. Best wishes for this New Year. Arigato gozaimasu. Peter U.K. 🙏🙏🙏

Controlled by cats has high quality:)). Thank you Junko for a Japan spirit in all things you do 🙏

Love ✨

What a fantastic fusion of photography and poetry and painting in creativity, bringing nature closer, much closer!

Konnichiwa once again Junko Azukawa San. I saw the whole Universe in your beautiful artwork. It would echo the longing we feel to be part of something greater. Another masterpiece. Thank you once more for sharing such beauty and grace. Arigato gozaimasu. Peter. UK. 🙏🙏🙏

Konnichiwa Junko Azukawa San, that beautiful artwork, literally took my breath away, the explosion of light driving away the darkness, you can almost see a beautiful kami right at the centre sharing the love of countless ages to all. Your work is transcendental, every piece has its own kami. Thank you for sharing such beauty ma'am. Arigato gozaimasu. Peter. UK. 🙏🙏🙏

Beautiful video. Thank you very much. )

I do love the way the camera swiftly spans through the pieces of art, giving no time for viewers to think, to analyse. It must be another way of 机锋问答, I think. You will directly grasp, will feel, will experience "something" -if you can- or you won't, but you are not expected to learn anything which could be verbally put into concept.

It's beautiful 😍😍 Thank you Junco San for showing this process.

Sempre interessanti questi video sulle tradizioni storiche del Giappone. Grazie !

Konnichiwa Junko Azukawa San. Welcome back ma’am, a beautiful video about preparing the tools and ink. I always love the way that the calmness and the Zen philosophy of doing things, makes everything you do to prepare, flow as one within yourself. Even the flow of ink into the water was a beautiful piece of art in itself. I look forward very much to seeing your calligraphy. Be safe and well. And may Amaterasu herself watch over you. Arigato gozaimasu. Peter. UK 🙏🙏

Question 1: Do we need to use rice paper or can we use other papers too? Question 2: Where can i buy rice paper?

Konnichiwa Junko Azukawa San, once more you have created a beautiful work of art, with the ink flowing like a peaceful stream, and the music following along in unison. Your art goes beyond just brush strokes, you touch the viewer with a philosophical memory of the mind. I haven't yet found anything that even comes close to what you describe with your art. Like I said in your last video, a perfect mushin. Domo Arigato Gozaimasu. Peter UK 🙏🙏🙏.

Thank you.

Can people tell the difference between a high quality ink and just any other blank ink

beautiful man really so cool!

Barakamon Anime bring me here, and i am so anthusiast to learning calligraphy

Lovely video. I can’t wait to try it! ❤

What can i replace the ink stone if i dont have one? 😢

What brush is the expensive brush? What is the brand, what is the brush called and where do you buy it?

Konnichiwa Junko Azukawa San. I found your channel while looking for how inkstones were made and used, the beautiful music and flowing ink, were one of the most beautiful ways I could achieve a perfect Mushin. Domo arigato ma'am. Peter UK. 🙏🙏🕉

🤍

Spettacolare !!!

I woul like to become a sumi-e Master. Could you give me any advice to find a japanese teacher, please. Thank you so much.

Ciao Junko è interessante conoscere la genesi dei kanji. Da quasi un anno ho iniziato a studiare il giapponese per soddisfare la mia curiosità verso la scrittura del tuo paese. Non è stato facile l'approccio ma poco per volta imparo cose nuove compreso qualche kanji! Grazie

❤🙏🏻💕

Love these little explanations of brush and ink strokes ❤🫶🏻🙏🏻

This is just what I was looking for. Perfect !! and I love the mental aspect which is why I’m taking the whole process real slow - getting a feel for the tools and learning a little about the thinking behind the painting or writing philosophy as I go. Today I unboxed my tools and photographed everything as it was an unused beautiful set. Started with discovering a little about the brush types I have - then got stuck with how to grind the ink. From not having a clue to knowing exactly what do do in one simple and beautiful video . I can’t thank you enough. Found this video at midnight U.K. Tomorrow I’m going to grind ink with much appreciation 😊

thank you for your tip 🌹

教えてくれてありがとうございました🙂

Kirei!

Thank you!, Excellent.

Thank you for the tips. I was wondering how you can tell that a brush is good quality before you wet it, i.e. when you buy it

Beautiful work

This may seem unusual, but I like to write out letters and words in the grinding process almost as a way to pray to whatever higher power could grant me what I need to accomplish my creative goals. It is probably unnecessary and just a superstitious ritual, but I do think it at least helps me with getting focused on my goals and start relaxing properly.

Excellent thanks

You explain very well and you are very sweet and tender, thanks 🙂.
