This wallscroll was an order from a return customer. This
black cherry blossom cloth was very beautiful. That is why I chose to purchase
it. The kireji (cloth) has been in my inventory for almost 4 years. I am very
happy that someone selected this cherry blossom cloth for their kakejiku.
The scroll reads Mujou. Mu 無is
infinite or nothing and Jou 常 and is the ideal of Impermanence or Transience in Buddhism.The Japanese calligraphy was
written in the Gyousho or semi-cursive style s or Yamada Maples. I think this is some of
Yoshimi’s best shodo.
The scroll is finished with a Shitan or Rosewood jikusaki
and a purple with gold trim pattern hanging string.
