In Japan we have a custom of creating " Enikki " (Illustrated Diaries) that portray daily events and thoughts in the form of a picture and a short essay. In an " Enikki " the author doesn't only write about things he/she has seen, heard, done or thought, but also describes these events and feelings through pictures. |
