As a totally non-artistic white Southern American woman, I was so relaxed by the end of this short video, it took me a full two beats to realize that the video was over. So peaceful

Simply beautiful. The jazz musician, Miles Davis, said something similar to the artist Hokusai. “You have to play a long time to play like yourself.”
I believe all of them tuned in to something higher than themselves. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏼

Cultural appropriation, appreciate it but it’s not yours to participate

[@grilled_platypus]

@@arzhvr9259 Why should you be limited in artform? Art is literally to express yourself with all the ways you like?

[@ChaiShe1]

That's a Japanese art style! It has to be slow. That's right, it's not a tik-tok show.

[@iHeartAMP]

I was gonna say ... Even the process of grinding the ink is slow AF. I have officially become "old man yells at cloud"

[@bradleyadams4496]
