So this scroll was probably the most difficult one I have done to date....It would be hard to find a tree that would display with this scroll. Some say my pics are terrible....So thanks to my wife for helping me take a pic of this scroll.

It's hard to see any details at this low of a resolution. Looks neat though

Splendid!

Could you speak to your process, a little bit? I go “cuckoo” for “ learning about new things”

I do not know if this is what you are asking but there are three primary methods to prepare scrolls.

The different processes of mounting a scroll are primarily three methods.
1. Wet mounting - Uses natural starch based glues with the application of water to achieve the desired result.
2. Dry mounting - Developed recently uses heat and chemical based glues to create the end product.
3. Combination of Dry Mounting and Wet Mounting to create the end product.

I typically only use Wet Mounting only, and occasionally use a combination approach, but I do not have the equipment to do entirely in dry mounting.
This scroll was made with the wet mounting technique.

So neat! That definitely WAS what I was talking about..

You seem to thoroughly enjoy it.

What (other than client’s pieces) is your primary method of acquiring material to work with?

I’d imagine auction-type scenarios, collector auctions.

Do you ever unearth any “treasures” from thrift or estate sales?

Primarily I do calligraphy pieces. My writes the calligraphy. She is a Shihan (師範）rank calligrapher with the Shunju Shodokai.
Secondly, I work with artists who paint their own items.
I studied Hyousou 表装 which is the art that mounts paintings into scrolls (kakejiku), but also makes items such as Byoubu, Paneru Hari or Fusuma.

I rarely buy at auctions, because without seeing and touching the material, it is very difficult to determine it the item can be remounted or not.
This link below is to one that I did purchase from an auction.

That’s fascinating.. I really enjoy the aesthetics of a well produced and presented piece of calligraphy..

I had NO idea of all the facets involved with creating such displays.
