【Artist Profile】

Sachiko HANASHIRO

As an etegami artist, she has been a long-time driving force of etegami, which is a kind of hand-drawn postcards. She started using a kind of sketchbook like Fudetabi around 2000 to record her travel memories. She draws sketching at walking speed, therefore the drawings express the atmosphere of the places specifically, which is one of the main attractions of Fudetabi.

The former Minister of Posts and Telecommunications commended her for contribution the the letter writing culture in 2000, and she has been a judge of Nichibiren, a publicity sponsored exhibition, since 2007. She sometimes appears on TV as an etegami teacher.
