Two Dragon Kakejiku or WallScrolls

 These are a pair of Dragon scrolls painted by Vinh Bui. Very dynamic and beautiful pieces with strong color. Currently they are in a Sandan Hyougu format, but may be putting fuutai on the scrolls if the customer wants them applied. The Ten and Chi is a Mixed Silk Earth Brown. The Chumawahsi cloth is a green/yellow with a slight wave pattern. The Ichimonji is a deep gold with a very faint flower arabesque. I wanted to use very inconspicuous cloths so the paintings would be highlighted. It is finished with a Deep Gold Kakehimo, and a metallic two tone ceramic jikusaki to help complement the background of the paintings.

Strong (Tsuyoi) Kakejiku

This is a wallscroll I made for a church youth group, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Salt Lake City. The theme for the youth this year is in the New Testament Phillipians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. So the leaders asked my wife to write the character for Strong. I then asked the leader which cloth they wanted to utilize for the scroll and they selected this blue donsu that has a nomi pattern. To complement the strong theme, in the church there is a hymn called "For the Strength of the Hills" That is the reason I used a mountain or hill pattern gold Ichimonji cloth. The scroll is finished with a lacquere jikusaki and the takuboku hanging string. Some other scriptures for the kakejiku related to strength, hills and reliance on Christ are the following:

Hymn: There is a Green Hill Far Away

Old Testament: Psalm 24:3

New Testament: Matthew 5:4

Doctrine and Covenants: 49:5

Japanese Calligraphy Kakejiku

This kakejiku or wallscroll reads When You Have Love, Luck is Not Needed. In Japanese the characters are 愛有運不要　The customer wanted to give this as a Christmas gift. They said the recipient really likes Cherry Blossom season in Japan, so I utilized this beautiful pure silk with a cherry blossom motif. The Ichimonji is a Gold arabesque on a cream color cloth. The Jikusaki are plastic and the hanging string is a light purple called Fuji.
