Pheasant Scroll for Autumn Wallscroll

This scroll is sold! This is another kakejiku prepared for the American Bonsai Convention in New York this upcoming September. It is available for sale. If you have an idea or need details about ordering a custom handmade scroll, go to www.shop.customjapanesecalligraphy.com or email to sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com

This was painted by Natsuko Horinouchi, a Japanese sumi artist who lives in Germany. I love the wind in this painting...only small problem is slightly against the flow of the wind....but could easily see a windswept bonsai to display this this scroll.

The pheasant is a bird that represents the Autumn season, and now would be a good time to display in anticipation of the fall. The cloth selections somewhat go against some principles of designing the cloths of a scroll for a Hyousoushi, but align with bonsai artists ideas for display. I used browns, golds, tans and a taupe to represent the dried out grasses where a pheasant may be hiding during the Fall season. The scroll is completed with old wooden jikusaki which are not lacquered, and a Kincha (Gold Brown) hanging string, which mirrors the color of the Ichimonji (Arabesque)

Scroll 3: Made in Japan

Under the guidance of my Sensei. When I went to select the cloths for this scroll, the first thing my Sensei said about this combination was a specific Japanese term. E-mail me to sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com in order to find out what term he used. This kakejiku or wallscroll was made for the American Bonsai Society 2013 convention, but is for sale. For pricing please contact at the above e-mail.

The scroll is for a fall/winter scene with a woodpecker. It is in the Yamato Hyougu  style, with a Kinran surrounding the painting, a Shoken (pure silk) chuumawashi, and a Shike silk for the Ten/Chi. It is finished with a Brown/Red flecked Kakehimo and a wood lacquered jikusaki.
