How the forgotten art of Japanese kakemono has been rediscovered and can turn your room into a classy, peaceful atmosphere in minutes.
The history of Kakejitsu
Imagine adding personality to your room, without damaging your walls.
The use of hanging scrolls became widespread during the Kamakura period (1185–1333) and the Muromachi period (1336–1573) due to the influence of Zen Buddhism.
Due to the frequent seismic activity in Japan, kakejitsu were in part developed to be resistant to these tremors.
The padded frame, light but high quality build allows for the scrolls to withstand tremors without falling off the wall and damaging your home like other artworks might.
Zen monks used hanging scrolls to display calligraphy or ink paintings in their meditation rooms which influenced the samurai class, who often followed Zen practices.
Samurai often displayed scrolls that featured depictions of legendary heroes that resonated with their values of discipline, honor, and the warrior spirit.
Hanging scrolls also played a significant role in the Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu). The scrolls used in the tea room (chashitsu) would often feature a simple, elegant painting or a Zen phrase that reflected the mood or theme of the gathering.
This practice was embraced by tea masters, scholars, and other members of the cultural elite.
Each scroll is a celebration of the beauty found in simplicity and adaptability.
