Chinese Calligraphy Scroll

Here is a scroll I made for Chinese calligrapher Richard Man. Getting older, I do not like to make these large scrolls, but that seems to be what people want.

It is simply done with a grey cloth and blue ichimonji in the maru hyougu style. It is finished with a navy hanging string and wood jikusaki.

Hummingbird Scroll

This is a scroll of a hummingbird painted by Ronald Reekers. I met Reekers さん at the Golden State Bonsai Convention this fall in 2015. The scroll is in a Nidan Hyougu style with a border of ichimonji completely surrounding the painting. It is finished with a Rosewood Jikusaki (紫檀塗)and a Gold 金茶 Hanging String.
