Fall Down Seven Times Get Up Eight Kakejiku

This was a kakejiku or Wallscroll made for a customer I met at the Nihon Matsuri in Salt Lake City on April 27, 2019. He wanted me to make a scroll with the mountain cloth and this particular Japanese kotowaza or proverb. It was brushed by my wife Yoshimi Yamada "Ryugyoku" Maples. She is a really talented calligrapher.

Because I had so little of the mountain cloth,  I made it into a Sandan Hyougu style scroll. It is completed with ivory plastic jikusaki and the Usukin (light gold) hanging string.

If you would like a custom scroll made for yourself, please contact to sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com
