## Resource

Are you a fan of Japanese traditional painting and tattooing? In this episode I share my findings on the rigorous training methods of Japanese painters during the Edo and Meiji periods, emphasising how expertise was forged through discipline and observation, not just innate talent. It delves into the traditional apprenticeship system, with the Kano school exemplifying this systematic approach. The discussion also highlights numi geiko, a proactive pursuit of knowledge beyond formal lessons, exemplified by Kyosai's intense training and his broad integration of diverse influences. The examples of these masters can help you integrate training methods in your own practice to improve and sharpen your skills. stefbastian.com
