Tokyo-based artist and Instagrammer Toru is a brilliant artist who seems to specialize in sumi-e, the Japanese word for a black ink painting style developed in ancient China. Emphasis is put on each individual brush stroke to weave together a beautiful painting. Toru has another special talent, however, and whether he is simply painting or doing sumi-e, he has the ability to paint with both hands at the same time. Because of this, he can double the fun with two excellent paintings! Here are are two examples of him mastering his craft.

Here are some more beautiful pieces he has done, some with two hands, some with one, but all great--including a fantastic rendition of a classic scene from Seven Samurai!
