🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What kind of thing is it for several hands to paint one work together?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a Japanese joint bird-and-flower painting made together by Nakanishi Koseki and others. It is not the skill of one person but many brushes meeting on one surface. I see together both the difficulty and the delight of joint work. Since each hand is different, it can easily grow disordered; yet when each considers the other's grain, a richness arises that one alone could never produce. To make something together is not to kill my own color but to let it sit in harmony with another's color.

In work shared with others, rather than insisting on my color alone, let it sit in natural harmony with another's grain.
