日本が (Nihonga)

[SpectralHarlequin]

This type of art has always intrigued me ever since I saw clips of it on the history channel. I'd actually like to study in this area and even neo-Nihonga someday in Japan. I also want to study calligraphy as a hobby when I get the resources...

Here's some pics:
