Blank Shikishi Kake Wallscroll

This blank shikishi kake wallscroll was made for an artist that wished to hang their paintings for display. We used a very neutral earth color to help bring out the blues in the painting. The scroll is completed with some rosewood Jikusaki (紫檀軸先) and the Kinka (金華) hanging string. This is a light green with a diagonal weave.

Blank Customer Wallscroll...

If the customer has the confidence to write, then they can order a blank scroll. I can just imagine a rabbit going on here for this years sign of the Zodiac...

This turned out beautifully, with the Brown Ichimonji in the Maru Hyougu style. After the Fuchin Arrive I will take a better picture and then ship it off to the Land Down Under.
