Description
One of the few items, if not the only item, of decorative two-dimensional art found in a traditional Japanese home is embodied in the form of the hanging scroll. This is placed in an alcove called the tokonoma in the main room of the house, where guests are received. The scrolls are often changed with the seasons, so most homes would have four or more. This shop sells painted scrolls ranging in price from inexpensive to very costly indeed. The best pieces are kept at the back of the store.
