【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. 【Winter Peony】 The peony was introduced from China long ago and has been cherished as the "King of Flowers" throughout Asia, including Japan. One can't help but be captivated by the beauty of the winter peony, blooming gracefully even in the cold snow. 【Specification】 ・Material/ Hand-painted on：Washi paper , Mounting：silk , Jikusaki at the bottom：pottery , Box：paulownia ・Size/ Hanging scroll：W68×H138cm , Box：W12.3×H80×D12.3cm ・Weight/ 2900 g ・Made in Japan Go to WEIGHT OF HANGING SCROLL Product Type: HOME DÉCORCollection: WALL DECORATION > HANGING SCROLLCollection: HANGING SCROLL / TAPESTRY / NOREN Collection: ONE-OF-A-KIND-PIECESCollection: KAKEJIKU / ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES Show more
