From a print by Imao Keinen(1890s). See discussion.
Those who want to practice their calligraphy this week have a phrase to work on. Susuki to nadeshiko (pampas grass and pink) is mostly written in kanji. The to (and) between susuki (Japanese pampas grass) and nadeshiki (pink) is written in hiragana. The passage is read top down starting with the right-hand column, then moving to the left-hand column.
There are two relatively simple sketches this week for practice. The first is Japanese pampas grass.
The next sketch is the plant, pink.
