Product Specs
On our karate dojo scrolls are written maxims of particular significance to all martial artists. They remind us of the core principles governing our training and how we should live our lives. Rest assured that they are guaranteed 100% accurate translations that will bring credit to your dojo!
After years of research, we discovered that the best way to reproduce calligraphy scrolls is to use a commercial Japanese twelve-colour printer that uses art pigments, not toners. This gives a permanent image with an “organic” look rather than the shiny plastic appearance created by modern inks & toners. Our karate dojo scrolls look just the same as those found in Japan and Okinawa. (Please see the photo of the Higaonna Dojo in Naha, Okinawa).
Our karate dojo scrolls, Printed on the best quality, coated, heavyweight art card size 11” x 17,” are shipped flat between boards to prevent creasing.
Matted with a simple off-white mat and mounted in a standard size thin black frame you can buy from any handicraft store, they make beautiful decorations for the dojo, home and/or gifts for friends!
This scroll is presented on our new 100lb. coated card stock material.
