【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. 【Cherry Blossoms with a Little Bird】 The cherry blossom (Sakura) is one of Japan's most iconic flowers, blooming all at once to herald the arrival of spring. A common motif in Japanese hanging scrolls is the image of small birds perched on seasonal trees. In this case, a little bird resting on a cherry branch symbolizes and celebrates the joyous arrival of spring—a season of renewal, new life, and fresh beginnings.【Specification】 ・Material/ Hand paint on：Silk , Mounting：Silk and Polyester , Jikusaki at the bottom：Chinese Quince ・Size/ Hanging scroll：W54.5×H188×D2.5cm , Wooden box：W8.5×H64×D8.5cm ・Weight/ 1100 g ・Made in Japan Go to WEIGHT OF HANGING SCROLL Product Type: HOME DÉCORCollection: WALL DECORATION > HANGING SCROLLCollection: HANGING SCROLL / TAPESTRY / NOREN Show more
