Kakejiku - Making of a Japanese Hanging Scroll

Hideyuki Kamon makes Kakejiku -- the hanging scrolls you see in japanese tea rooms, temples or traditional guest houses. He is what is called a "Hyōgushi", a scroll mounter. In 2012, I visited him in Takarazuka, Japan where he lives and works. In the course of three days, he showed me all the steps it takes to assemble a Kakejiku from paper and fabric. If you're interested in learning more about me: • My website: www.nubero.ch • And my blog which revolves around design and culture: www.nubero.ch/blog Also: • The scroll mounter, Mr. Kamon, has a website: www.kouseidou.jp (Japanese) • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakemono • www.amazon.com/Japanese-Homes-Their-Surroundings-Architecture/dp/0486207463 I hope you enjoyed the film. Please give feedback or I will be unable to do better next time!
