How to Put Away

001

jikuatsukai008 jikuatsukai009

Hold the jikusaki with both hands, and roll up the kakejiku slowly.
When you roll it up around halfway, hold the kakejiku in your left hand and hold the yahazu (the forked edge of a bamboo stick) in your right hand. Then take the kakeo (a string attached to the top) off from the nail or hook.

002

Put down the upper part of kakejiku carefully not to fold it. Then take off the yahazu and put it on the floor. Finish rolling it up.

003

As for the kakejiku with fuutai (a pair of strips of cloth or paper hanging from the top), first, fold the fuutai on the left hand side into the bottom of the other fuutai on the right hand side. If the fuutai is too long, bend it along a creased line.

When there is a makigami (a piece of paper which is 5 to 7 cm wide and 20 to 25 cm long), roll it up with the kakejiku folding its edge into the kakejiku.

005

jikuatsukai015

Hold the kakejiku in your left hand and hold the makio (a string connected to kakeo [a string attached to the top]) in your right and tie the makio aroud the kakejiku three times from the left to the right (the same direction in which the kakejiku was rolled up). The makio of the kakejiku, mounted a Buddhist painting or “myougou” (the name of the Buddha) calligraphy, tends to be longer, so tie the makio around the kakejiku three times or more.

Make a ring at the edge of the makio and pass it through the lower right of kakeo. Then once again, pass it through the lower left portion of kakeo.

jikuatsukai018

Wrap it with “momigami” (a piece of paper soften by crumpling) and put it in a “jiku-bako” (a box for kakejiku).

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.
