Scroll for Bonsai Artist

It has been about a year and a half since an order for a scroll from a bonsai enthusiast was placed. This scroll is very soothing. It is a nature/serenity poem about the stillness when deep in the woods.

If you would like to order a custom scroll there are three ways to get started: 1. Go to my shopping site at www.shop.customjapanesecalligraphy.com 2. Download my scroll design workbook from my website at www.customjapanesecalligraphy.com to read about the concepts behind kakejiku or wallscroll design. 3. E-mail to me directly at sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com 


The writing was done in the sousho format. The cloth is bone colored. The Kakehimo is takuboku (which is crow in Japanese. I will repost dimensions tomorrow, but it is a little over four feet.

The Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Stained Shitan (rosewood) jikusaki really add to the overall elegance and character of this scroll. Along with the Deep gold ichimonji used to capture the rays of light reaching one as they are hiking through the forest.
