Another Chinese Calligraphy Wallscroll

This is another brushwork by calligrapher Richard Man. It is for a retirement gift. Reads Ichidai Kami and the last character is Chinese and reads medicine (I believe.)

Old Scroll Redo

This painting is sold and is no longer available. Please contact to Jonathan Maples via email sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com

This scroll was refurbished and remounted from an old scroll. The painting has a very faint understated home with mountains in the background and a stream. It is very beautiful and hope it works well with the bonsai of the gentleman who purchased this. He has built his own Toko no Ma, and I hope to see it hanging in there soon.

I decided to do it in a fukuro Hyougu style with a dark gray and Kon (navy) color suji. This provides a very nice touch with a neutral scene. Although I think the painting would go best with a fall scene, I felt that the neutral Winchester gray color would allow flexibility in displaying it in a variety of seasons.

Wallscroll Birthday Gift

This is a scroll commissioned for a customer back East. The scroll reads Kin Iro Eikoku...Golden Britain may be the easiest translation. It was made with a khaki cotton, the gold Ichimonji, a Rosewood Jikusaki and the Kodai Saniro Hanging string. It is written in the Gyousho (Semi-Cursive) Style by Yoshimi Maples.
