This Calligraphy is done by uniquely combined a picture of “crane and turtle” and a Japanese character actually means “crane and turtle”. “Kame” – turtle In Japan we have a saying “cranes live a thousand years and turtles live ten thousand years”????????? Both animals are typical animals which have a long lifespan. Therefore cranes and turtles are a symbol for longevity. The Japanese Hanging Scroll- and how to enjoy them? KAKEJIKU is traditionally displayed in TOKONOMA(an alcove in traditional Japanese room). They maily display for their guests and for carrying out the seasonal events. So why don’t you have a few and try changing them depends on the guests, seasons and even for your feelings! Modern Japanese houses even don’t have a TOKONOMA, so less and less people are displaying them these days. It is a shame that people forget about KAKEJIKU. However it is more important to actually display, respect and enjoy in your own ways rather than following all the traditional ways. You can enjoy freely and display in just like any ways!! — ePACKET(Standard) —? This is a cheaper method than EMS and a faster method than SAL. But I don’t recommend SAL.
