Fall Theme Small Scroll

[kakejiku]

I have made a set of small scrolls one for each season. It is like a shikishi, but it is made in the Maru Hyougu style. It is written in the Sousho full cursive style. First thing I noticed is it looks crooked at the bottom, but I remeasured and it all checked out...Second thing to notice is the Jikusaki I made from Ivory looking material....

秋月明輝揚, and I thought I had the full translation but will have to post it tomorrow. The short meaning is that the Brilliance of the Autumn Moon brings Magnamity.

Enjoy.
