Scroll for Wedding

The Haiku on this scroll is the original Japanese of the customer in the Midwest. I was very impressed with the lengths he went to in order to create something original for his then fiancée and now wife. These are
pictures from the wedding reception. The writing is in Kaisho style, and the scroll has been placed
in a formal alcove with a bouquet, surrounded by origami cranes.


May this man ever be blessed in his love.

Dojo Alcove with Yoshimi's Writing

Yoshimi wrote this shikishi Ichigo Ichie for this dojo. I especially like the armor. Her writing is beautiful. The scroll is not mine. I have seen many of these modified Sandan Hyougu scrolls. I think two tone scrolls are more traditional with the chuumawashi having a small karakusa (arabesque) with a solid cloth color for the Ten & Chi.
