Calligraphy that speaks the language of style and tradition.

This original, handmade bamboo tapestry is not only beautiful, but eco-friendly, too. And each piece is decorated with individually painted calligraphy, personally signed by the calligraphy artist. The Japanese character messages come in three choices: "love", "longevity", and "happiness". A great conversation piece to hang on any wall in the home.

Add a touch of Japan and a touch of tradition to weddings and other celebrations with this original, handmade bamboo tapestry. It comes emblazoned with the message "Kotobuki" ("celebration", "good fortune") individually painted in Japanese calligraphy characters and signed by the calligraphy artist. A great conversation piece to hang on any wall in the home.

This is a truly unique and fascinating gift. The Uchiwa, or "wind fan", was first introduced to Japan from China in the 5th century. This Uchiwa comes with the printed (not painted) character "Tsuki", or "moon". Utilizing the strong, flexible and elegant qualities of bamboo, and wrapped with organic washi paper, each Uchiwa fan comes with a handmade wood stand for conversation-inspiring display in any room.

Most of the paintings are from the Edo period (17th -19th Century) created in the form of Kakejiku or hanging scrolls. We also have some framed paintings from the post-war period.

Byobu or folding screens were originally used to separate rooms and as enclosures for intimate spaces. Byobu literally means "wind wall". Many luxurious Byobu for decorative purposes were created between the Azuchi-Momoyama period and the Edo period. (16th-19th Century) The byobu in the photo was created in the mid Edo period.
