Dragon Sumi Painting by Mariusz Szmerdt

This is a dragon painted by Mariusz Szmerdt. I love this painting. His work is very beautiful and detailed. In mounting this I wanted to think about cloths that would be both symbolically significant and make the artwork standout. There is one phrase that I used from Chinese/Japanese folklore that is related to the dragon. Can you find the symbols in the cloths?

Dragon Sumie

This is a scroll done for artist Susan Morningstar. Her sumi dragon is very informal but beautiful in the details of the ink painting. I originally did this in a minchou hyougu style scroll, but the customer did not like it and I redid in the Maru Hyougu style.
