Another Richard Man Wallscroll

This is another work by Richard Man.
This looks to me to be the character 易
In Japanese this can read Yasui or Yasashii which can mean easy. However, it also has a meaning of fortune telling or divination. It looks to be written in Gyousho or Semi-Cursive style.

I made this scroll in the Fukuro Hyougu style, which is simple and elegant. I used a darker gold Suji (ribbon around the artwork) and a lighter reed color cloth. The Hanging string is a Kincha or gold and the Jikusaki are plastic 9 bun pieces.

Obviously he likes his works large this is a chart of the dimensions.
