Flowering Tree Sumie Kakejiku

 

This is a small painting of a Sumie by Daniela Caselli. It looks like plum blossoms to me, but I am unsure. I framed this in a Rinpou Hyougu style, and selected some light green in the Ichimonji cloth and blue, pure silk chuumawashi in order to accentuate a cool feeling to the painting as early spring is typically the time when the plum flowers. The narrow Hashira help to accentuate the painting, and a light khaki mixed silk solid was used for the Ten/Chi.

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.

MuGa 無我 (No Self) Kakejiku

 

This Japanese calligraphy was provided by a Buddhist practitioner. Muga means Egoless or no self in English. The deeper meaning would need to be explained by the Roshi themself, as I am not very versed in Buddhist teachings. Because it is a religious piece of work, I recommended that we mount it in the Butsu Hyougu style. It has an ichimonji with a cloud motif, with a small brown suji bordering that and the artwork. It is then surround by a small gold karakusa kinran cloth. Again bordered by the brown suji, and finally the outer cloth. I think it turned out beautifully, and hopes it aids the practitioners in their meditation and other rituals.

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.
