Kakejiku - Japanese Hanging Scroll (ORIGINAL) Tokugawa

Kakejiku, a Japanese art that is designed to hang in tea room for tea ceremony. It's usually either Japanese style drawing or calligraphy. It gives a nice Japanese atmosphere to your room to hang as it is (using two weights on the bottom to straighten the scroll), or re-work the contents on modern style in frame and passepartout.

This Kakejiku was used to be owned by my grandparents in Japan at least for 25 years. The paper is a bit sun burned, but it gives good antique touch.
