Mangaka mood

mangaka01

È sempre un piacere ricevere pacchetti, specie se vengono dal Giappone. Ero a corto di portapennini e ho deciso di regalarmene uno da mangaka, piccolo, comodo e a dirla tutta bellissimo. Solo la confezione meritava l’acquisto. Così, mentre finisco di scansionare gli ultimi disegni di Inktober, eccovelo in tutto il suo splendore.
E poi, credetemi, solo i giapponesi aggiungono alla fattura una lettera d’accompagnamento in carta di riso col monte Fuji, i pini e le onde , graziosamente attaccata con un pezzetto di nastro washi ^_^
ENGIt’s always a pleasure receiving a small parcel , expecially if it comes from Japan. I was lacking a free penholder and I decided to treat myself with a mangaka one, small, comfortable and frankly wonderful. The package was just buying itself. So, as I finish scanning the last inktober sketches, here it is in all its beauty.
And believe me, only the Japanese stick a complement letter on rice paper with Fuji mountain, pine trees and waves to the invoice with a nice little piece of washi tape ^_^
