Draw calligraphy or a painting and have it turned into a traditional Japanese "kakejiku" (hanging scroll). By finishing it as a kakejiku, your work will be beautifully preserved for over 100 years and will become a lifelong memory to decorate your home. By turning your handmade work into a kakejiku, you can experience Japanese culture in depth. Our company was founded in 1936 and has been providing traditional crafts for over 80 years. By drawing calligraphy or a painting with a brush and ink, you can enjoy a unique Japanese experience. Kakejiku uses techniques with over 1000 years of history to create a work of wabi-sabi that is refined for beauty and preservation. You can choose to make a full-fledged kakejiku or a simple magnetic tapestry, and take home the work you made that day.
