Tenka Muso Wallscroll

This is a yoji jukugo 四字熟語 which is a four character idiom in Japanese that has significant meaning. Ten 天 is Heaven, Ka 下 is Below, Mu 無 is None, and Sou 双 is a pair. In short it can mean Peerless Under Heaven. In other words, no one on this earth can match you. If someone has a special gift or indomitable spirit in a certain aspect of their life this is a very appropriate phrase to use. The customer who ordered this is giving it to a special person, who overcame great obstacles to accomplish something good in their life.

The scroll utilizes a red cloth with a small 唐草 (arabesque) with a large flower arabesque Ichimonji. The jikusaki are an antique ebony with an antique 3 color hanging string. The scroll style is done in the Maru Hyougu format and the size is as follows:
