Title: Heron (Sagi) and Bamboo by Keiji Kawakami
Size: 16 1/2 inches wide by 48 inches long including tabs. Ready to hang--natural bamboo rod included.
Description: White and gray heron on aqua blue background. Subtle homespun look black border. Rod not included in overseas shipment.
History: The heron, often represented among lotus flowers and leaves, has a habit of standing perfectly still with eyes closed and rises from the water without stirring up the mud which makes it a perfect symbol of Buddhist meditation. Snowy herons are still to be seen in country districts of Japan, their white forms graceful among the green rice plants in the paddy fields, or roosting at dusk in trees—like strange white flowers among the branches.
This panel was designed by Keiji Kawakami, the owner of Fujiya in Asakusa, Japan. Kawakami, now in his 80's, has been designing decorative tenugui (kazari) since 1955. Not only is he famous for his own original dyed designs, but also for reviving classic motifs dating back to the 18th century. He only adds about a dozen new designs a year to his collection and tenugui-lovers flock to his shop to purchase them seasonally.
Our scroll size wall Hangings (long and narrow) are made from printed 100% cotton fabric panels, tenugui (printed cotton 'towels') or a noren (doorway curtain). They are machine quilted, hand-guided, using two layers of low loft polyester batting to provide added depth and dimension. Sizes listed under each item are approximate. For the width, the panel size itself is measured not the rod (which extends an inch or so past the panel on each side)--and the length is measured from the top of the tabs to the bottom of the panel.
