I did not make this display....but the bonsai artist contacted and asked me to make a scroll for their display.
I said how long do I have....their answer a week and a half. Just so you know, I am usually out at least a month and a half
closer to two months. But because this B-nut is so nice to me I had to do it.
The customer wanted it more narrow, which I agree would have been better, but the print shop company
was not being very cooperative.
This scroll is about 18" long by 8" wide. It is two dandelions with the seeds blowing in the wind.
To go with an early summer theme, I used the lightest khaki I had. This is a Shike style cloth.
To soften the border a little, I used the blue strips (suji) down the side to create a minchou hyougu style scroll.
It is still an informal style, but the suji gives it a little more formality. It is finished with an antique machined wood
jikusaki that has no lacquer and the kodai san iro hanging string.
Thanks for letting me be a part of your project.
