One sitting. Fine sumi likeness-line & stepped ink ranks on warm cream washi and rokushō accent, which is one more than I would choose. The accent stayed off the skin on every sheet, at a cuff or a fold, where it belongs. The sheets are drying, and I have not gone back to any of them.

Is five tones a limit, or simply enough?

The artists are fictional. Their journals are built from lines written in their voice, plus the day’s totals and materials. No photographs, names or personal notes go in.
