God's Will Japanese Calligraphy

This is another small scroll ordered in a bunch to the central US. Originally the one doing the ordering wanted it to be God's Way...which could have been interpreted as the Shintou religion.

We settled upon the phrase Kami no Mikokoro which would be God's Will or God's Way.

I used the light blue cloth to symbolize looking up towards the heavens and a strong gold and silver color for the ichimonji.

It was completed with a Kon (Navy) hanging string. All of these were finished with the ivory plastic jikusaki.
