Vtg Japanese Hanging Scroll Kakejiku
This is a vintage Japanese hang scroll Kakejiku. It is a picture of two cranes flying out of the lake. I think it's Hokuyo Toda's art because it has the signature of Hokuyo. Kakejiku is a Japanese picture or calligraphy mounted on a piece of paper. Kakejiku was a tool to spread Buddhism in Japan. It has been integrated with Japanese culture as interior decoration. Tokokake is used at the Tokonoma in tatami room. Chakake has Zen words used in the tea ceremony room. Buddha-kake is used in the Buddhist altar.
