To purchase this scroll contact to sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com It is a phrase in Japanese Buddhism which is described in the following link as http://www.sgi.org/about-us/buddhism-in-daily-life/three-thousand-realms-in-a-single-moment-of-life.html,

The renowned sixth-century Buddhist scholar T'ien-t'ai (538-97) developed a meditative practice to enable people to perceive the boundless extent of their lives at each moment. He also developed a theoretical system to describe this reality. He called this "three thousand realms in a single moment of life" (Jpn. ichinen sanzen).Ichinen sanzen demonstrates that the entire phenomenal world exists in a single moment of life.

The number three thousand is arrived at through the following calculation: 10 worlds or potential conditions of life, which are each mutually inclusive (10 x 10) x 10 factors x 3 realms of existence.

The scroll is made of a pure silk cloth with a green brown mandala type pattern in it. The blue ichimonji was used to symbolize the 3,000 realms. It is written in a Gyousou style.
