    Here is a little tip, this is a newer kakejiku, just built and just unrolled. See how the bottom Jikubou is just flaring out a little....Roll the scroll in the reverse direction just to before the Shita Ichimonji (Bottom Gold Accent Cloth) starts, and it will hang proper, with no flare and rest...

    I prefer to see how the end product is presented in someone's home....BTW it reads Koi No Yokan in Semi Cursive style. That is a pure silk imported from Japan.

    Japanese Terminology Disambiguation: Kabudachi

    株立 kabudachi are the characters making this bonsai word. Kabu is the word for stump (but is also used for stock i.e. stock market etc) and Dachi which is to stand or rise. It would be considered an informal tree style in Japanese bonsai circles. This is different from the Soukan or Sankan; Split...

    Full Moon Sumie Kakejiku

    Just to give you a background on my history, I studied in Japan under Sagawa Taishin, one of the most prominent Hyousoushi in Japan. It would be similar to say...studying with Kunio Kobayashi. Painting is by Vinh Bui. This is a Full Moon Sumie wallscroll made by hand. It would pair well with a...

    Panel Hari

    It is a rare opportunity for me to actually visit the customer and be able to hang the artwork with them. But because they are in Utah, I was happy to make the trip and get the opportunity to make a video. The meaning of this Japanese proverb is Even Dust Piled Up Becomes a Mountain 塵も積もれば山となる...

    Scroll from ABS class

    夏雲多奇峰 These are the characters on this scroll. It reads Kaun Kihou Ooshi, with a literal meaning of Strong Like Summer Clouds. I had a person take my scroll making class at an American Bonsai Society convention in Kentucky. He was never able to complete the scroll and asked me to do it for him...
