Pair of Kakejiku: 7 Virtues & Musashi 5 Elements

A pair of scrolls ordered from our neighbor to the North.

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 thing I like most about this order is that the customer knew exactly what they wanted and the entire order process only took about 20 minutes via phone to complete, and then it was hammered out pretty quickly.

I have done several scrolls of the dragon in the 7 Virtues of the Bushido, but never in the Tiger cloth for the scroll. The scrolls are complemented with a Black lacquer wood jikusaki and a Kogecha (almost black) hanging string.

Dimensions are:
