Enso Circle Kakejiku

This scroll is from the same artist that painted the Dragon Scroll. Again, she wanted a simple scroll in the Maru Hyougu style on a Navy cloth. Very fundamental. I love the gold Ichimonji on this scroll, and this is completed by the Ivory Jikusaki and the Usu Kincha Hanging String.

This customer ordered a scroll specifically to display with a Suiseki. We consulted on various aspects, and they chose to do it in a Nidan Hyougu (Two Step) style of scroll. My only concern is that my display Sensei dislikes the use of darker kireji (cloths) as he says it distracts from the main Suiseki/bonsai.

With that said, I think it is a pretty color combination with the gold to brown transition, giving it an earthy feel that could be matched well with the rock. The Enso, was also selected from some my wife, Ryugyoku had drawn previously. The scroll is complemented with a beautiful pair of Ebony (Kokutan) jikusaki and Kincha (Dark Gold) hanging string.

This scroll was made with the remainder of cloth used for other scrolls. That is the reason for the small size. There can be good reason to also have scrolls made smaller than usual. I like the flow of the light to darker to darkest contrast of the scroll. The plastic ivory color jikusaki provides a good feel to the scroll. This scroll is in the Maru Hyougu style, which is the basic Japanese style of framing the artwork. It is simple, and not overly complex.

The gold in this cloth really pops to the viewer against the grey background. I love this Kinran, it provides an excellent flowing feel like the calligraphy brush circle. The brushwork was done by Ryugyoku, Yoshimi Maples.
