Customer Response...These types of things just make my day! :)
I just got home from Vancouver and your box was waiting for me. It's fantastic! Perfect, even!!
I have included 2 images of it in its final location; you can see how nicely it harmonizes with everything. One view is from my hall and the other from my office desk chair (so I can look over at it and be inspired)
(If you wish to use these photos on your site, be my guest)
There are some who think that a
kakejiku only belongs in a traditional Japanese Alcove called
Toko No Ma...But you can see from the pictures below just how beautifully this art can accent a Western Style home...
If you would like to order a custom scroll there are three ways to get started: 1. Go to my shopping site at
www.shop.customjapanesecalligraphy.com 2. Download my scroll design workbook from my website at
www.customjapanesecalligraphy.com to read about the concepts behind kakejiku or wallscroll design. 3. E-mail to me directly at

This customer ordered with a tight deadline and I was really worried whether it would be ready or not...but the scroll was just shipped this afternoon. This is a long thin scroll, with the Name of the Dojo in Gyousho or Semi-cursive style Japanese Calligraphy. I think the cloth is beautiful, and that is why I took a closeup of the cloth. It is styled with a deep gold on gold karakusa Ichimonji that transitions well into the green kireji. It is completed with a black lacquer wood jikusaki and a Takuboku design kake/makihimo.

Customers ask me to do new things which challenge the norm. This customer asked for an Aikidou scroll to which he could attach a picture of Osensei, of Aikidou, Morihei Ueshiba. This is not a traditional presentation of a kakemono, but it is still beautiful, and hope it provides the desired end result. This scroll is about 3.5 feet in length and 1 foot wide. The picture is a 4" x 6" print.
