Currently debating on buying
a wall scroll but it feels odd that its so cheap
compared to other scrolls. I have one silk scroll already that I paid around $10 for. The amazon one is silk and the amiami is suede. Is the material really that important? Can anyone with more experience explain the price difference?
Summoning FOG, the connoisseur of wall scroll, to point alpha.
well,most of the wall scrolls that i owned are silks too.
but i payed it for 3000-5000yen(around US$ 20-50) since it's pretty much the only items that you can only get from events AKA real limited stuffs.
their sizes aren't that small too since the biggest one in my place is hanging all the way from the ceiling to the floor in my living room.
although i do own one that is most unique that i got from Aquaplus booth in Comiket.it's a wall scrool but the material is made from the one that used for an authentic japanese calligraphy wall scrolls even though it was bought together with different items as a bag set that cost 3000yen.
if you're picking for silk scrolls,you need to pay attention to the material and width of it since you wanted to hang it for a long period of time.
Sounds like the price isn't too strange then. Nice find at Aquaplus. I didn't know calligraphy used a dedicated kind of paper. Why does the width matter to the scrolls longevity?
How do you hang your scrolls? Reviews say it doesnt come with a hanger. The one I have only had some ties since it was a poster flag. I'm thinking I can tape it to a wall with masking tape. Is that even a good idea?
because some that has good thickness will stay strong for a long time?
i'm using something like a hooked pin.
it has 3 needles so it has some good grip inside the wall.
so a masking tape.....better not to.
