Du Mu Kakejiku, Authentieke Japanse Scroll

Traditionally, Japanese homes are very minimalist in design, with few furniture and decorations. However, there is a prominent exception in the area of wall decoration, namely hanging scrolls known in Japan as Kakejiku (掛け軸). Various subjects can be central to these traditional scrolls, including landscapes, sacred images, animals, and texts in calligraphy style.

The text on this scroll is a famous poem by the famous Chinese poet Du Mu and can be translated as follows: High against the cold mountain, the stone path winds upward. Among the white clouds, the houses of people are hidden.
