Quarter Moon Sumie Fukuro Hyougu

 

This quarter moon sumie was painted by Vinh Bui. This kakejiku or wallscroll was made in the Fukuro Hyougu format. It is the most informal style. You can view a light blue suji surrounding the entire painting, with a rose colored cloth, that has a small cherry blossom arabesque pattern. It is a mixed silk cloth. It is finished in plastic ivory jikusaki, and a gray hanging string. 

I wanted to discuss a theory in selecting cloths when making a Kakejiku. In Japanese, there is the term cool colors (Kanshoku) and warm colors (Danshoku). When I see the moon as the subject in the painting, then I feel cool. To offset the cool feelings from the painting, then you want to counterbalance that by utilizing warm colors in the cloths of the kakejiku.
