Product description
This vintage Japanese kakejiku is a hanging scroll of Shinto calligraphy in ink on paper, with a textile mount and wooden rods. It originates from Japan, from the Shōwa period, when scroll-mounted painting was displayed in the tokonoma. The kakejiku was hung in the tokonoma, the alcove of honour of the Japanese home, and changed with the season or the occasion. The work mounted on paper was rolled for storage, which explains its vertical format. The piece is executed with brush and ink on paper, mounted with fabric borders and finished with an upper rod and a lower wooden roller that allow it to be hung and rolled. It keeps its suspension cord. The composition depicts the invocation 天照皇大神 (Amaterasu-sumeōkami), the great Shinto solar deity, brushed in ink with red seals. For its vertical format, it serves as a wall piece for a serene corner, a study or an entrance. It fits wabi-sabi, japandi and minimalist interiors, where it brings depth and a graphic accent.
