Two 3 x 5 Photo Frame Wallscrolls

 These two wallscrolls that act as a picture frame are made with silks. These wallscrolls allow one to quickly and easily change photos. These particular scrolls hold portrait photos that are 3.5 inches wide by 5 inches long. This allows anyone to:
1. Quickly take the kakejiku or wallscroll off the wall and hang it in a new location.
2. Easily pack and transport the wallscroll to a new location if one relocates or moves.
3. Photos can be changed in less than a minute, providing the opportunity to put different pictures in the frame to help set a mood or ambiance to any room.

These particular scrolls were made without jikusaki, hence reducing the price from the typical $45.00 fee to a $30.00 fee. If one wishes to purchase both they would be $50.00. A $10.00 shipping and handling fee applies for both scrolls.

Sanso #168 by Chikuto Summer Sumie

Nakabayashi Chikutō, originally Nariaki (Japanese:中林 竹洞; (1776, Nagoya - 27 April 1853, Kyoto) was a Japanese painter in the nanga style. His other art names include Chūtan (沖澹), Taigen’an (太原庵) and Tōzan Inshi (東山隠士).

This was the last in the prints of the original paintings of the Sanso collection put into a scroll. I mounted this in the Minchou Hyougu style. It is hard to see, but there is suji on the long vertical sides of the scroll.

Sanso #150 Blackbird on Persimmon Tree by Rosetsu

This is one of the final paintings of the Sanso Collection prints that I mounted into scrolls. This painting is also by Rosetsu. You can read more about him in the post preceding this post.

This scroll was made with a Benberugu cloth with a green check pattern. The check pattern is very small. It is also completed in the Minchou Hyougu style, as you can see the thin gold suji on the vertical borders of the scroll. There is also a border of Ichimonji on the topa and bottom of the artwork. The kakejiku was completed with the Kodai Iro hanging string, and wooden jikusaki lacquered with layers in Black and Orange. I used the color scheme to help blend and harmonize the color in the painting with the Jikusaki.

If you have a painting you would like mounted, please contact to sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com

Sanso #100 by Rosetsu

These next posts will be the last of the scrolls done for the Sanso art collection. This is number 100 in the collection by Japanese artist Rosetsu. Click on the description below to read more about this artist on Wikipedia.

Nagasawa Rosetsu (長沢芦雪, 1754–1799) was an 18th-century (Edo period) Japanese painter of the Maruyama School, known for his versatile style. He was born to the family of a low-ranking samurai. He studied with Maruyama Ōkyo in Kyoto.[2][3]

This particular scroll was made in the Yamato Hyougu style. Even though the Hashira are very thin, I do not consider this the Rinpou Hyougu style. It is completed with a gold kinran with accompanying fuutai, a blue ivy arabesque Chuumawashi, and a gold arabesque Ten/Chi. I had purchased over 10 years ago some wooden jikusaki that had a black and gold pattern attached on paper. I had never felt this fit for any of my scrolls, but when I saw this painting, I just knew the black and gold reminded me of the Otera in which this bell would reside.

If you have a painting that you would like mounted into a scroll, or would like us to do a calligraphy piece for you, please contact to sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com

Kakejiku or Wallscroll for 8x10 photo

This is a shikishi kake style scroll that can hold an 8x10 picture. Displaying the photo or print in this way allows you to easily remove and replace with other photos. This can be done in less than a minute. If you want an alternative method of hanging and displaying photos or artwork, consider using this wallscroll.

If you would like to purchase this scroll it is $65.00.

It is a one of a kind scroll, because I was only able to procure 1 meter of this purple cloth from Japan. The middle cloth is a purple silk with a small flower arabesque pattern. The light gold on the top and bottom cloths complements the color. It is completed with a plastic ivory kakejiku and Kodai san iro hanging string.

If you would like a different color combination please view my webstore or contact to me at sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com
