    • Dear Gabriela, this collection of cards is so beautiful! I have longtime admired Japanese traditional art, and this is art at the best. So much detail, so simple and exquisite lines, so much refinement! I truly enjoyed your captions, which are, as always, greatly informative and meaningful. I can't pick any "favorites&q uot; - they are all equally beautiful and I thank you for sharing this cultural treasure with us. It was a joy watching your collection! Love, Ina

    • Hello Gabriella. What a treasure those beautiful cards and so pleased you shared them. As a watercolorist I admire the Oriental painters and the seemingly simplicity of their artwork. Also the use of only a couple of colors makes it so beautiful. The pictures really show the Japanese culture and the beauty of their country. I so want to visit it one day. Warm greetings . Juliette
