Bulk Order of Shikishi-gake Scrolls and Tanzaku-gake Scrolls from a German Business Client

We receive inquiries regarding kakejiku production from both domestic and international clients. Among them, we occasionally receive large-volume orders from overseas business clients.
These requests are not for personal use, but for products to be sold as part of their business.
In this article, we would like to introduce a case in which a business client from Germany visited our shop in person.

A Couple: A Bonsai Artist and a Nihonga Painter
The clients who visited us this time are a couple running a business in Germany.

The husband is an active bonsai artist, and the wife is a Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) artist.
Together, they handle and sell various items related to Japanese art and culture.
What they mainly request from us is the production of original Shikishi-gake Scrolls and Tanzaku-gake Scrolls.
They attach the artworks painted by the wife on shikishi boards and tanzaku strips to these scrolls and display them behind bonsai as part of their presentation, offering them as products.

This Order
The reason for their visit was that they wished to proceed with the order while actually viewing and selecting the fabrics in person.
We presented several fabric options and carefully discussed the combinations together.

Below is the list of fabrics that were selected during the meeting.
We also prepared a comprehensive production list for all requested items.
As this was a large order and each piece had slightly different dimensions and specifications, we organized everything into a detailed list so that both parties could double-check all details accurately.

After confirming all specifications, we proceeded to production.
The requested delivery timing was aligned with an upcoming bonsai event, so this was a large-scale order with a relatively tight schedule.
Even under these conditions, we carefully checked each item one by one throughout the production process to ensure there were no mistakes.
Completion of the Shikishi-gake Scrolls and Tanzaku-gake Scrolls
We successfully completed the large number of Shikishi-gake Scrolls and Tanzaku-gake Scrolls in time for the deadline.
Here are the finished works.
Customer Feedback
After shipment, we received confirmation that the items had safely arrived.
The client was very satisfied with the results and was already busy sorting the products in preparation for their event.

We also received the following feedback:
Kake – production and delivery
It was very very nice to get to know you in personally! You make excellent work! It‘s fun working with you! Hope to see you again in Japan – we love Japan very much!
All of our staff were delighted to receive such positive feedback.
Furthermore, the client expressed their desire to continue placing orders with us and to build a long-term business partnership, which we consider a great honor.
