Distant Mountains Sumie

[kakejiku]

This was an order from the ABS/BCI convention in Denver Colorado. I had shown a picture of a distant mountain, but this individual wanted 3 mountains instead of one. Additionally, they wanted a little more Western feel to it.

They had a difficult time selecting the cloth but they wanted a gray. I thought the faint lines in this cloth could either represent fog or flowing water subconsciously. He agreed. It is finished with an ivory plastic Jikusaki and the Light Gray (Nezumi Iro) Hanging string.

I do not know what bonsai they will ultimately display with the scroll, but I feel it is versatile enough to go with many different evergreens in a variety of different stylings.

Scroll Dimensions:
掛け軸の幅さ Scroll Width 126 (Size in Bun) 15.03 (Size in Inches)
掛け軸の長さ Scroll Length 314 (Size in Bun) 37.46 (Size in Inches)
