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.

I found this today while I was cleaning up my studio. It is mostly in Japanese but has some beautiful pictures of displays, bonsai and pots....with a few lines in English. I am going to throw this away unless anyone would like to pay $25.00, and I will throw in a Tapestry Frame to hang a photo...

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...

Since no one replied to my last offer, here is a Flower painting in stage 2a. This is in the Fukuro Hyougu format, which is the most informal scroll style. You can see a gold suji bordering the artwork, and it is finished with a light blue cloth with a white pattern called Nomi. This is very...

This was painted by Vinh Bui. I asked him to do some paintings to utilize in Bonsai Displays. Tis painting is roughly 11 3/4 inches tall by 7 inches wide. I will build this scroll for you with your choices of Cloths, scroll style, and upgrade of jikusaki. Normally Premium scroll packages are...

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...

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...

This is the Virginia artist I have been working with for the past 3 years. This is his final show. He got the prime spot in the Senior year art show at his University. I mounted the three paintings in the middle. The artist mounted the two small ones on the outside with materials he purchased...

Many of you saw the two paintings of the Hanaya Masks. This artist specializes in painting dragons, flowers, fish, and he said may be able to do other subjects. He is graduating from his Art program at a 4 year university in Virginia. I just completed at 2.5 foot wide by 7.5 foot tall scroll for...

These two paintings will be put into a pair of scrolls for the artists University Art Senior show. I love these paintings, because they are a little different from his other works. I am grateful that he puts his trust in my work to create something incredible to match his works. You will notice...

I have seen the 7th USNBE will be coming up. I have seen many scrolls in the event, but know some of the bonsai artists don't consider utilizing them because they feel they do not utilize the culture or tell a good story with the tree. I have a tapestry frame, that you can change out the...

Most of you do not know, but last month from the 15th to the 20th of February I was in the hospital. I do have insurance, but it is a very high deductible plan. I was hoping to ask for support to this community for which I have been a member for about 10 years now to pay medical bills. I know...

http://wallscroll.blogspot.com/2019/11/native-american-in-canoe.html This is what I completed after 4 weeks of taking apart and remounting. If you would like to inquire about purchasing this scroll you can email me at sales@customjapanesecalligraphy.com

So this was considered not bonsai related on a the 99 Cent bonsai auction site....I was really disappointed in that community. This was made specifically for bonsai display in mind. The rabbit tracks are moving into the distance, to accentuate the flow in a Migi Katte, Hidari Nagare display. If...

I am putting this scroll on sale for the same price as the Damselfly scroll. $75.00 all inclusive price with shipping to the US. If you are in a foreign country and would like to buy this please let me know and I can give you the price for shipping. These are rabbit tracks in the snow, with some...

This scroll was made about a month ago. This was made for a summer display in mind. It has a mayfly in the picture resting on a blade of grass. It is roughly 3 feet long by 1.5 feet long. I can get you exact dimensions if you are interested. Price is $75.00 which includes shipping in the US...

I did not make this display....but the bonsai artist contacted and asked me to make a scroll for their display. I said how long do I have....their answer a week and a half. Just so you know, I am usually out at least a month and a half closer to two months. But because this B-nut is so nice to...

I have read many posts on this site about individuals wanting to learn more about Bonsai Display. Specifically, many seem confused about the "rules" in formal Japanese display. I have spent a considerable amount of time studying and translating a display style called Gaddou 雅道, which would be...

So this scroll was probably the most difficult one I have done to date....It would be hard to find a tree that would display with this scroll. Some say my pics are terrible....So thanks to my wife for helping me take a pic of this scroll.

about what a good painting is for a bonsai display....This would be it for Autumn or early Winter display. Notice how there is nothing very strong in this Haboku painting style, but very relaxing and serene. Would make the bonsai be the focal piece and help to accent or tell the story. This...

I am asking B-nuts to look at the two threads in the display section and find the differences in the scrolls. What is the biggest difference? (We are not critiquing the displays, just looking for differences in the scroll formats.)

I made two scrolls for this bonsai artist. One was used at the 2018 USNBE. The other was used in a Cincinnati bonsai show.

This scroll was made for a bonsai artist that submitted their tree to the 2018 US National Bonsai Exhibition. I made this scroll of the painting she had done. The bonsai artist that owns this tree sent me two Sumi she had done of some scenes inspired by Canyon de Chelly in Arizona. This area is...

This was purchased in auction, and the scroll was in bad shape. I completely redid utilizing the Kanshoku/Danshoku theory of season because this would be a summer themed scroll. There are small birds in it. This is a large scroll (about 6 feet long), that would only work for bonsai larger than...

Here are a few pics from my trip to Omiya today....Oh, and the best thing about speaking Japanese is being able to go to places by yourself. My camera is wackado...but your get the drift.
