Mounting Work Request for Buddhist Painting Placed by Canadian Japanese‐Style Painter

It’s been a while since our international trade was started off and the number of these repeated customers has been raising that is always appreciated. We are very much contented as it proves our works to have been highly evaluated.

This episode is about one of those repeated orders from a Canadian gentleman.

He had previously requested us to mount Japanese paintings he had done into hanging scrolls.


Mounting Work Request from Canadian Japanese – Style Painter
On this topic, I’d like to introduce the course of action taken to mount four artworks of Canadian Japanese-style painter.
 

 

His artworks previously we worked on to mount were such marvelous pieces therefore with anticipation, we couldn’t wait for the arrival of another piece of work.

Here is the arrived centerpiece. A large Buddhist painting, depicting Thousand-Armed Kannon.

Much the same as his former pieces, the artwork looks brilliant with the details delicately painted. Its depiction of the halo surrounding the Kannon is my favorite part.

We came to an arrangement with the customer about the combination of the mounting fabric which, as you see below, sober colored fabrics are used.

The following kakejiku is the one we mounted this time. The solemn ambiance brought about by the Kannon is spectacularly expressed. Having been a large-sized artwork, it gives an even more powerful impression after the transformation to a kakejiku.

We dispatched the completed kakejiku to the customer soon after the completion of our work.

He was absolutely pleased by our work and as usual, sent us a message which we found encouraging.

The kakejiku arrived in perfect condition.

You did a spectacular job. Pure perfection.

Thank you very much.

 

We appreciate his words that let us believe our work is worthwhile. We can’t say thank you enough to our customers returning us with their message in delight.

Our Feelings For Kakejiku

 The Japanese people have long set a high value on aesthetic senses since ancient times. As a result, the
peculiar culture which is not seen in other countries blossomed and many aspects of the modern Japanese
culture come from it. Parts of Japanese culture has been introduced to people in other countries recently,
so the number of people from other countries who are interested in Japanese culture has been increasing.
However, the Japanese aesthetic senses, which are the bases of Japanese culture, have been nurtured
through a long history, intertwining various elements intricately, such as climate, geographical features,
religion, customs and so on. Therefore, they are very difficult to understand not only for people from other
countries, but even for the Japanese people. I think the best tool which conveys these difficult senses
understandably is a “kakejiku.”
 The kakejiku (a hanging scroll; a work of calligraphy or a painting which is mounted and hung in an
alcove or on a wall) is a traditional Japanese art. It's no exaggeration to say that paintings are what
express aesthetic senses at all times and places. The kakejiku is an art which expresses the Japanese
aesthetic senses. The kakejiku has long been used in traditional Japanese events, daily life and so on since
ancient times. As a result, there are various customs of kakejiku in Japan; kakejiku and the life of the
Japanese are closely related. We can see Japanese values through kakejiku.
 The kakejiku is a cultural tradition which the Japanese people should be proud of. However, many people
in other countries don't know much about it because it hasn't been showcased as much. This is why I
decided to try to introduce it. The kakejiku world is very interesting and beautiful. We want not only the
Japanese, but also many people from other countries to know and enjoy it. I hope that many people will
love kakejiku someday.
