Cloudy Moon Scroll

 This is similar to a scroll posted back in April. Both of these kakejiku are already sold. It is the same cloudy moon by Polish Artist Mariusz Szmerdt, but the moon is more obscure and the painting is a little darker. The difference with this scroll is it is done in a three step style called Sandan Hyogu (三段表具）

I used a ginran 銀襴 instead of a kinran 金襴 for the ichimonji bordering the     artwork. This means that this cloth is made with silver filament thread instead of the gold filament thread. It is very beautiful. I used a silver for the chuumawashi of this cloth as well, but the difference is that it has a smaller Karakusa (arabesque) pattern in the cloth. For the Ten/Chi I used a gray/slate colored cloth that has a hint of blue.

The Ichimonji for this scroll has a black lacquer with gold/silver fleck in it. It really adds some extra character to the scroll.
