"tokonoma " with a "kakejiku" meaning "hanging scroll"

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"tokonoma" is a built-in recessed space in Japanese style reception room

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

in which you are supposed to display flowers or a hanging scroll or a vase or a "bonsai"

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

the four kanji on the" kakejiku"

are read as "fuu-rin-ka-zan" meaning "wind,woods,fire,mountain"

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I will pick up the kanji "kakejiku"

in my "today's kanji".

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

As you know ,I want you to regard this "kakejiku" not as Japanese calligraphy but as art.

if this is Japanese calligraphy,it seems strange that the letters are in white.

I want you to consider the yellow parts in the clipart as "tatami mats".
