Japanese Poem by Kikaku 其角

 
This calligraphy was written by Brent Miller in 2026. It reads 猫の子のくんづほぐれつ胡蝶哉 (Neko no ko no Kunzuhoguretsu Kochou Kana). This could by translated as something like the following: 

A Kitten's 

life or death struggle

a butterfly. What!

I hope they like it.

I made the scroll in the Sandan Hyougu style. It is a very simple design to accentuate the beautiful Japanese calligraphy.

Vinh Bui Dragon Kakejiku

 

This Dragon Scroll is done in Shin no Sou style, not a true Yamato Hyougu. The dragon is painted on a gold type paper. Beautiful painting so I wanted a more formal frame for this painting. Also, when I saw the metal Jikusaki at my Sensei's store while I was in Japan, I just knew this would pair perfectly with this scroll.
