Group of Scrolls Part 1

 These are two different Sandan Hyougu scrolls I did for a customer in Wisconsin. He brushed all the works and sent them to me. In total there were 11 scrolls, and it was a stretch to get them all done on time. But I really enjoyed the opportunity to create some of my own cloth combinations for these.

Ki Ga Tsuku Wallscroll for School

My wife works for and my children attend American Preparatory Academy at their Draper 2 Campus. Every month this school has a theme to try and help students develop certain values and virtues. The December theme happened to be the Japanese word Ki ga Tsuku 気が付く. The first character is Ki. Many of you have heard the Chinese term Chi, which is life force or energy. In Japanese we call this word Ki. Tsuku means to attach something to. So if we attach life force or energy, it means we are aware of our surroundings and can react quickly to serve or help others. I noticed back in August when the school year started that this was the theme and thought that Yoshimi and I could create something special for the students to learn. So I had Yoshimi write this back in August and have been making the scroll since then.

It is written in the Sousho (Full Cursive) style. The scroll is in the Sandan Hyougu (Three step style). The Ichimonji is a beautiful Gold Karakusa with some aqua in the flower arabesque. The Chuumawashi cloth is a benberugu with a white ivy design on a pale blue color. The Ten/Chi is a light blue shike cloth, with a light gold Hanging String. The Jikusaki are machined ebony wood with a very decorative pattern.
