100 Ways to Write Long Life / Longevity - Chinese Calligraphy Wall Scroll close up view

Close up view of the calligraphy artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll

This is a unique wall scroll that features 100 different ways to write "shou". This character means long life or longevity in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.

This one is written on red paper using fancy gold ink. The artwork was then mounted to a silk brocade wall scroll by hand at our workshop in Beijing.

The artwork is not signed per se, and I don't have artist information. These pieces are done more for decor, so it's common for the artist to remain anonymous.

Gary's random little facts about China:

Where's my soy sauce?
When you sit down to eat at a restaurant in China, you will almost never see a bottle of soy sauce on the table like you might at a Chinese restaurant in the USA or UK.
In Chinese cooking culture, soy sauce is a seasoning reserved for use in the kitchen.
The fact that soy sauce can be found at Chinese restaurants outside of China probably comes from the confusion between Japanese food and Chinese food.
The most popular Japanese food outside of Japan is sushi, which of course is always served with soy sauce and is the most likely cause of the confusion.
