Kakejiku Kissako
Japanese hanging scroll painted by Fukumoto Sekiō
Hand-painted calligraphy by Fukumoto Sekiō, the head priest of Shōshunji temple.
The expression "kissako" (喫茶去) is a Zen Buddhist saying from the 9th century that literally means "Drink tea."
It is often used as a gentle invitation to sit down and be present, a call to mindfulness in the simplicity of drinking tea. In Zen tradition, it reminds us to pause, let go of distractions, and experience the moment fully, no matter who you are or where you're from.
In essence, "kissako" is both an offering and a teaching: Come, have tea and just be.
Hanging scrolls were originally hung in temples, and then in the "tokonoma" - alcove displaying ornaments - of the Japanese tea room. They used to be changed often, depending on the season. Lotus however due to its complex symbolism, can be a beautiful and meaningful decoration throughout the whole year.
The scroll comes in a paulownia wooden box signed by the master.

Handling precautions
The hanging scroll is made of fine fabrics and paper. Always handle it carefully with clean hands.
If you would like to store it away, roll it up slowly and carefully either still hanging on the wall or laid out on the floor. Try to touch only the wooden handles. Fold the two hanging silk stripes under the rolled-up scroll, and protect them with the yellow sheet included in the box. Finally to secure it, wrap the scroll with the string. (See the picture above.)
Avoid placing it in areas exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity, or strong drafts. If it is not displayed regularly, air it out twice a year during mild weather.
