In a single color of ink, I captured nigiri sushi from the front. The fish on top is expressed through a curve that spreads sideways as if embracing the rice, with short lines showing the marbling of the tuna. The nori in the center is a thick horizontal stroke driven across in one motion, forming a band that holds the rice tight. For the rice below, I swept the outline in a large, round curve with the oblique brush and finished the bottom with weight. The grains of rice are scattered in small dabs, in dark ink that leaves no dry brush.

墨一色で、握り寿司を正面から捉えました。上の魚身は横に広がる抱え込みの曲線と、マグロの霜降りを示す短い筋で表しています。中央の海苔は、太い横画を一気に送って、ご飯を締める帯にしました。下のシャリは、輪郭を側筆で大きく丸く回して、底を重く収めています。米粒は小さな打ちで散らし、かすれを残さない濃墨にしています。
