【About Hanging Scrolls/Kakejiku】
The hanging scroll, originally introduced from China as a form of Buddhist painting, evolved over time to become a key element of indoor decoration in Japan. It gained prominence in settings such as tea ceremonies, traditional events like the Boy's Festival in May, and seasonal celebrations.
In a typical Japanese home, the Tokonoma, a recessed space where the hanging scroll is displayed, serves as the heart of the household. This area holds significant cultural importance as it is used to welcome and honor guests.
As hanging scrolls became more widespread, they developed into a cherished medium for showcasing and appreciating the essence of Japanese aesthetics. They often depict seasonal landscapes or auspicious symbols, reflecting and celebrating the beauty of Japan within the home.
【Shan Shui with the Ancient Four Symbols】
"The Four Symbols" are mythological creatures in the Chinese constellation. The Azure Dragon for Ease, the Vermilion Bird for South, the White Tiger for West, and Black Turtle for North. A place surrounded and protected by them is considered the best place to live and will bring good luck to the family.
