Handmade Sumi Greeting Card
A one-of-a-kind piece of functional art, this gift card features an original suminagashi (墨流し) print—created using the ancient Japanese technique of floating ink on water. Each piece is printed by hand onto delicate traditional sumi rice paper, then carefully mounted onto thick, high-quality 400gsm A5 white card using adhesive.
No two are ever alike.
Each card is perfectly imperfect—bearing the organic, flowing nature of the ink and water from which it was born.
Rooted in Ritual & Philosophy
Suminagashi, the Japanese art of paper marbling, inherently embraces imperfection and impermanence. The process relies on the unpredictable interaction of ink and water, creating unique, non-repeatable patterns. This acceptance of fluidity and transience lies at the heart of Zen philosophy, where the meditative act of creation is more important than achieving a flawless result.
Every mark reflects a moment. Every swirl is unrepeatable.
