Torn Tachi Scroll Repair

Customer asked for a miracle. The photo to the left is a picture of the scroll as I received it from the customer. I was very worried if I could take the scroll apart and remount it with minimal scarring or made to be seen that it was repaired. Customer chose some cloths that are not traditional, but I like the way the scroll turned out. If you look close you can see where the scroll was repaired. If you have a damaged or worn kakejiku, I would love to give you a quote for remounting.

Remounting an Old Painting

Remember the painting I bought at auction of the Sagi 鷺 which is a heron or egret in Japan. This is the work I did today. First I cut away all the borders. I could have removed by applying water, but this was sufficient.

Next I removed all the old backing paper called Urauchi from the painting.

Lastly, I applied a new first layer of paper called Hada Urauchi to the painting.

I hope you like how it is progressing.
