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.

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. 🙏🙏🙏

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.

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.

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 🙏🙏🙏.

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 😊

@@JunkoAzukawa you must have felt the vibe yesterday💜💛 I completed my first little painting - a mostly, text painted, birthday card for my son. Black inked words and a water colour flower. I haven’t painted since I was a teen after leaving college.(now 56) I am very critical of what might not come through my hands onto paper, but every time I held the brush (as you taught and knew why it was better that way) and listened in to the music that I chose for the project that calmed me, I was able to focus on the in moment doing, not what it might become. End result I had a good enough for me 💕 Token for my son, which went into a glassed frame and was wrapped safely - I was panicking all week that I wasn’t going to have the courage to do it. But the mindfulness & feels of dropping the water on the ink stone, and the process of grinding the ink to the right, for me, consistency and the practice of the types of brush strokes that I have learnt from your video kept me entrained to my divine skill. 🙌🏼😇

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.
