Shijin Japanese style Wallscroll

This particular customer wanted the phrase 四神 Shijin written in the Kaisho style. Shijin in classical Chinese are four animals that guard the four compass points. In Japanese it is typically associated with the Buddhist Shitennou.

This customer requested a light green cloth. So I used a solid with a rich brown Kinran for the ichimonji to symbolize Earth and greenery.

The scroll is completed with a green (鶯）hanging string and plastic ivory jikusaki.
