Lovely Guests from Arles, France

 

It is also famous as a city where Vincent van Gogh, a world‐famous painter, spent his later years.

 

Van Gogh painted his representative work, “Café Terrace at Night in Arles.”

 

The cafe’ still exists today!! Fantastic!! I would like to visit there someday.

 

 

On 2nd December, 2019, lovely guests from the wonderful city came to our shop!!

 

Looking for Calligraphy Hanging Scroll as Souvenir

The guests, who visited our shop this time, are this couple. They were enjoying Japan for a month; Tokyo, Kyoto, etc.

In that time, they were looking for a kakejiku hanging scroll as a souvenir for the girl’s mother. She asked them to purchase a calligraphy kakejiku because she is learning calligraphy.

This is why they asked us to show them some kakejiku with calligraphy.

They were very pleased that we explained pronunciations and meanings of the Chinese characters of the kakejiku. 

The man said, ”It is difficult to select the best kakejiku because all is good!!”

They discussed with her mother what to buy, sending pictures of some kakejiku with her smartphone.

 

Selected Kakejiku

They finally decided to purchase the above kakejiku; 洗心 senshin calligraphy kakejiku.

“洗心” (sen-shin), Zen word, means “wash heart.” Although it is easy for us to notice our dirty appearances, it is difficult to recognize our dirty hearts. It is important to look at our hearts carefully and to keep ones clean.

 

Perfect Satisfaction!!

They were really pleased with the Senshin kakejiku and we received a heart-warming review on TripAdvisor page from the customers. Thank you so much!!

Beautiful experience

We have been looking for a month the perfect kakejiku that will strike our heart and we have found it here, all the works of art are beautiful and unique… Thank you very much for your advice, kindness and patience. We recommend 100%

We hope that they enjoy the scroll with her mother in Alres, France. Thank you for this purchase.

 

We have many scrolls of beautiful Japanese calligraphy. Would you like to enjoy seeing other calligraphy scrolls? This is so much fun and is possible at ART NOMURA. We will be delighted to welcome you here.

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.
