Etegami is, simply put, poetry expressed in art. A simple hand-painted drawing or sketch showing an expression of some kind, preferably accompanied by a few words. Most often, the work is painted or sketched as a card to be mailed or given away.

It is not the quality of the work itself that is important - it is the thoughts and feelings behind it that are most important.

Etegami is a light-hearted Japanese art form that roughly translates to picture letter. It has been practised since the 1970s and is perfect for anyone who wants to create something light and simple without pressure.
