Victory Over Self

 

This calligraphy reads that One who attains Victory over Oneself is Greater than Gaining Victory over 10,000 enemies. Self Mastery and continual improvement of oneself makes us feel better about ourselves and improves our self esteem. When we practice a skill, or improve daily then we are gaining mastery over ourselves. 

This scroll is made in the Sandan Hyougu format. It has a deep gold karakusa for the Ichimonji, a dark gold Chumawashi donsu cloth and a cotton khaki ten/chi.

The most interesting fact on this scroll is that my wife sure saved me a lot of headache. When the customer asked for Divine Punishment, I had no idea that there was a Japanese phrase for this. I did nail the second character batsu, but if it had been left to me to do the translation it would have been Shinbatsu...Like God, or the same character of Kami in Kamikaze...

Fortunately, I have a wonderful wife to help me get the Japanese correct. This scroll is written in the Kaisho, block print style. It is a beautifully written work and I am proud at how this scroll turned out. The darker antique cloth is complemented with a large gold on white ichimonji. The customer chose the black hanging string which is quite beautiful as well.
