Summer Season

 xià

Summer Season Scroll

夏 is the word/character used to describe the Summer season in Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

If your name is Summer, I like this character better than transliterating a few characters together to make something that sounds like “summer.”

Autumn / Fall Season

 qiū
 aki
 
Autumn / Fall Season Scroll

秋 is the word/character used to describe the Autumn or Fall season in Chinese and Japanese.

 chūn xià qiū dōng

The Four Seasons Scroll

春夏秋冬 is one way to express “The Four Seasons “ or “All Year Round “.

The characters here represent Spring, Summer, Autumn (Fall), and Winter.

Tondehiniirunatsunomushi

Like a moth to the flame

 tondehiniirunatsunomushi
Tondehiniirunatsunomushi Scroll

飛んで火に入る夏の虫 is a Japanese proverb that means rushing to one's doom.

The literal meaning is, “Summer insects flying into the flame” which is like the English idiom, “Like a moth to a flame.”


Note: Because this selection contains some special Japanese Hiragana characters, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.

 samidare
Samidare Scroll

This is the Japanese name Samidare.

The meaning of the name is “early-summer rain.” Literally, it's “5th moon rain,” which means “rain in the month of May.” This may refer to an anime character, a Japanese battleship in WWII, or a place in Japan called Samidare.

All of our calligraphy wall scrolls are handmade.

When the calligrapher finishes creating your artwork, it is taken to my art mounting workshop in Beijing where a wall scroll is made by hand from a combination of silk, rice paper, and wood.
After we create your wall scroll, it takes at least two weeks for air mail delivery from Beijing to you.

Allow a few weeks for delivery. Rush service speeds it up by a week or two for $10!

When you select your calligraphy, you'll be taken to another page where you can choose various custom options.

A professional Chinese Calligrapher

Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.

There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.

Trying to learn Chinese calligrapher - a futile effort

Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.

A high-ranked Chinese master calligrapher that I met in Zhongwei

The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.
