Scroll One in Japan Completed

This is the first of three scrolls completed in Japan. I learned many new techniques, such as the use of Fukushima Silk, Naka Urauchi and attaching and completing Fuutai for scrolls. This scroll or kakejiku is specifically made for the ABS 2013 convention, but if you would like to purchase before email to sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com

This is a picture of Oriental Ducks, painted by Natsuko Horinouchi of Germany. I think it is very nicely done. I used the white chuumawashi pattern to reinforce rippling water and the Ichimonji and Ten/Chi to be shades of pond water as well. It is completed with a silver Kakehimo, and Ceramic Jikusaki that are also light blue and blend well with the Chi portion of the scroll.
