A Request from France for the Calligraphic Work Mounted to a Kakejiku! With the Minute Advance Arrangements, Let the Calligraphic Work Sparkle Itself!

We receive kakejiku-related orders in Japan and beyond.

We do appreciate that every month, we receive orders from somewhere in the globe.

The episode we introduce this time is about an order for mounting a calligraphic work into a kakejiku from a customer living in France.

The customer previously purchased kakejikus with a calligraphic work from us, one of those was drawn by Kobayashi Taigen the priest of Ōbai-in, Daitoku-ji Temple and another one

was done by Takada Ryōshin the128th chief priest of Hōryūji Temple/5th chief abbot of the Shōtoku sect.

Order from France for Hanging Scroll with Main Work by Takada Ryōshin – ART NOMURA
We received an order from France for a kakejiku hanging scroll with a main work by Takada Ryōshin, the chief priest of the Hōryū-ji temple.
 

 

The customer requested us to have a calligraphic work given by his calligraphy teacher mounted this time. Here is the artwork.

 

It can be easily imagined that the teacher who is a foreigner might’ve put a lot of effort into drawing calligraphy in kanji. Nevertheless, the freely running brushwork looking ever so stunning denies the speculation.

Having made a detailed consultation with the customer, we proposed a fabric and mounting style in harmony with the artwork.

The completed piece.

 

The customer took quite a fancy to the kakejiku mounted with a green fabric that was worth suggesting.

The following is the feedback from him.

It is very nice indeed and the green color was definitely a good pick.
Thank you for your excellent work.

 

We congratulated ourselves on what we’ve done, another success in conveying the attractiveness of hanging scrolls to the world.

If you have any concerns over kakejiku, please do not hesitate to contact us.

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.
