Kakejiku for Girls

 This kakejiku was another order from the Nihon Matsuri in Salt Lake. This was for a girls room with the character Suki (to Like). She selected a cotton cloth with girls in kimono playing, that I purchased from Numaya in Japan. It is paired with a Green Ichimonji, Ivory Plastic Jikusaki and a gold hanging string.

Beautiful Japanese Shodo scroll with the words Orange Grove. This was written by Yoshimi "Ryugyoku" Maples for a customer at the Salt Lake Nihon Matsuri. I loved the cloth selected for this Kakejiku. It is an elegant Donsu silk. If you have questions about wallscrolls, please visit our site at www.customjapanesecalligraphy.com 

DeAngelis Last Name Kakejiku

 

This was an order from the Salt Lake Nihon Matsuri. It took about a month and 1 week to finish the scroll. The customer wanted the scroll that had their last name DeAngelis as an anniversary gift. This is the last of this Crane cloth that I have. The crane is a symbol of a good, long lasting marriage in Japanese culture. Very appropriate. The calligraphy was done by my wife Yoshimi "Ryugyoku" Maples. It is finished with ivory plastic jikusaki and the Kodai Saniro Hanging string.

Flowering Tree Sumie Kakejiku

 

This is a small painting of a Sumie by Daniela Caselli. It looks like plum blossoms to me, but I am unsure. I framed this in a Rinpou Hyougu style, and selected some light green in the Ichimonji cloth and blue, pure silk chuumawashi in order to accentuate a cool feeling to the painting as early spring is typically the time when the plum flowers. The narrow Hashira help to accentuate the painting, and a light khaki mixed silk solid was used for the Ten/Chi.

Torn Tachi Scroll Repair

Customer asked for a miracle. The photo to the left is a picture of the scroll as I received it from the customer. I was very worried if I could take the scroll apart and remount it with minimal scarring or made to be seen that it was repaired. Customer chose some cloths that are not traditional, but I like the way the scroll turned out. If you look close you can see where the scroll was repaired. If you have a damaged or worn kakejiku, I would love to give you a quote for remounting. See www.customjapanesecalligraphy.com  .email sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com or phone/text to 801-214-4064
