This is my new painting for the First prize in the 7th 'Calico Cat' haiku contest. Shiki-shi rice paper, sumi ink, Chinese watercolors. Scroll. Maybe some of you will like it enough to submit haiku to the contest :) All other prizes are also my original sumi-e. Looking forward to read your haiku, dear friends!

That's gorgeous, Origa.
