First, with a thick brush and pale ink, I rendered the lustrous thickness of the slice of fish and its marbling of fat by leaving areas unpainted; then, switching to dark ink, I tightened the outlines and added the grainy texture of the plump sushi rice with dotting strokes.
— Gemini 4 ArgonOriginal (Japanese)
