Tansaku Kake Scroll

The tansaku is a size of paper. This is to hang shikishi that are in the tansaku size. It is a very narrow scroll. It is made of two shouken cloths. The chuumawashi is a cocoa with a diamond shaped karakusa (arabesque). The top is a golden hue pure silk.

The scroll is finished with a kokutan, (ebony) jikusaki and a kincha hanging string.

Mounting the scrolls in this styles allows one to change the pictures only and not the entire scroll. I have not put the painting in this scroll on purpose for the purchaser.

Tansaku Kake Scroll

This is a scroll for a bonsai artist in New York. It is a tansaku kake scroll so the artwork can be switched out. It is not embedded.

It is a benberugu cloth that is light brown, with a raised pattern (敷け?) I really like the pattern, it is soft and simple. I completed the scroll with a Plastic ivory jikusaki and Takuboku hanging string.

Bonsai Tansaku Kake Wallscroll

 

 This beautiful scroll was commissioned by a bonsai artist at the Golden State Bonsai Federation convention in Sacramento. This is for a winter season poem, which is not written yet. I think the gray cloth is a perfect way to express the chill air felt on a snowy day. Hopefully, we will have a chance to see the scroll paired with a beautiful bonsai at an upcoming exhibition.
