Kakejiku (Hanging Scrolls)

The appeal of hanging scrolls is that they can be rolled up small and stored compactiy.
Hanging them up for each season or event creates a completely different space. Kakejiku are made in various ways.
There are traditional types such as Buddhist rituals, Yamato rituals used for paintings and calligraphy, and tea ceremony rituals, as well as creative rituals with completely new designs.
I will tailor a unique piece of work according to the customer’s preference.

屏風

Byobu (Folding screen)

A large screen expresses an overwhelming sense of presence in a space.
Byobu is also attracting a great deal of attention in the field of contemporary art.
The main feature is the “paper hinge” made by laminating Japanese paper together.
The paper hinges can be folded either backwards or forwards.
Byobu is not only used for art, but also for Japanese style partitions, etc. It can show many different faces depending on how it is used.
