In the previous post I gave examples of Shin (formal) style scroll formats. The Semi-formal scrolls do away with the intermediate cloth or paper called Daihari.
The last explanation did not print. It is Gyou no Sou.
Gyou no Sou – Like the Gyou no Gyou scroll, but the Ichimonji are removed.
Another name for the Gyou no Shin style scroll shown above is Yamato Hyougu. Yamato is the old word for the country of Japan. These scrolls often depict landscapes or seasonal themes. They can tend to over power bonsai in display, but if used properly can work well to create a very harmonious display.
These style scrolls are often used best with pines or evergreens styled in more formal styles, such as Chokkan, Moyougi etc. (Do not be confused with the translation into English as Informal Upright....because in the Gaddou style of display, Moyou is considered a formal styling.)
The formal nature of the evergreen along with the formal styling of the tree, will often help set the bonsai at the forefront of the display.
When you use an evergreen bonsai, the display seasonality/setting is ambiguous. So it is very important to select something that cues the viewer into the season of the display.
