I sent a request from Isao Oomachi (功・大町) if I could use a picture of one of his Toko no Ma displays and he said yes. He said Ok to me through Facebook, so I thank him for his cooperation to outline what makes a good scroll and bonsai display pairing. Here is the picture.
So this is a flowering cherry that looks to be in a weeping styling. In the Gaddou display style, the tree is deciduous /flowering so it would be Semi-formal. The styling would be informal. This is accentuated by the pot, which is a glazed (Semi Formal) round (informal) pot which would also be a Semi-formal, informal ranking. This is contrasted with the formal styling of the scroll. (Yamato Hyougu is a Gyou no Shin)
The painting depicts two swallows, which in most parts of North America are symbols of springtime arrival.
What are some of the other characteristics in the painting that you recognize? I will await some of your observations before going on to other points.
