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.

Scroll with Last Name Translated into Japanese

This scroll is a Christmas present for a son who studies Japanese. Delving into the translation was difficult because of the limitation to four characters. But I feel that it was a successful idea. The idea for the scroll from the characters is The Possibility to Climb a Different Way or Path.

The scroll is done in a simple navy cloth in the Maru Hyougu style. It was written by Yoshimi Yamada Maples. It is in the Kaisho Block Print style. The Ichimonji is a large Karakusa (arbesque) that is gold on cream, a plastic ivory jikusaki and a light gold hanging string.
