Japanese Kanji / Chinese / Korean Hanja Calligraphy Wall Scroll
This Japanese Kanji means energy, and in some cases refers to steam (in ancient times, they believed the steam coming from a pot of cooking rice was the life energy of the rice being released).
In the martial arts world, this is the energy that must be focused to break boards and do miraculous feats of strength and force. Many Buddhists believe that this essence is obtained through meditation and concentration.
In case you are wondering, this is the "ki" in Aikido, the "ki" as in Reiki (the healing art), the "qi" as in "Qi Qong", and the "chi" as in "Tai Chi".
The materials used include special calligraphy paper and ink. The artwork was sent to our workshop in Beijing where we created a handmade scroll. By building the wall scroll at our own workshop, we save you a lot of money.
This is authentic Japanese calligraphy by a calligrapher whose pen name is Kougetsu. Kougetsu is a high-quality calligrapher from Japan, offering her work at a bargain price. You would easily pay $230 or more for the same quality of Japanese calligraphy and wall scroll mounting if purchased in Japan. Famous calligrapher's often demand $2500 or more, without a perceived increase in quality.
Therefore, this very nice, authentic Japanese calligraphy wall scroll is a true bargain, and allows you to get "Japanese quality" at an affordable price.
