You can now pay easily and securely through PayPal.
Credit cards and even an E-cheque can be used on Paypal. Its very secure. If you
do not have a PayPal account you can open one right away. That is why we
now offer this as our preferred method of payment. You can still pay
through a bank transfer but that's expensive. It saves us the
new (huge) credit card charges that have recently been imposed
to circumvent money trafficking etc. Paypal is therefore the way
to go for
www.Tokonomascrolls.com as it really does protect you and

The reason why there are other quite
different items on this website is
that when displaying a
scroll in a
Tokonoma-or special scroll area, you
would display that scroll with an
object such as
a Bonsai or a small item like a Vase, Ikebana, Statue, Antique
Pot, a rare
Tea Cup, Incense Burner,
Bulb bowl, Suiban, Singing Bowl
or Suiseki.
I hope that you will enjoy browsing the pages of Tokonoma
scrolls and
perhaps find out a little more about the beautiful world of
Japanese and
Chinese art a world that I have been immersed
in for most
of my life.

Scroll
restoration service
Please note that we are booked three months in advance
at this time
A full restoration is done with silk mounts. We
use the existing scroll
ends and silk tape if
these are in situ. Otherwise we completely redo
everything. If you want a box for the scroll we
make that as well.
Here are some prices.
A full restoration can cost between £95 and £190
( $150-$300)
depending on what you want.
Replacing both the top and bottom panels is £70 ($95),
The centre panel border in silk can also be replaced for £60 ($95)
New ends can be in dense Padouk wood and that is
£30 ($48)
or in antique Bone, £45. ($70)
A new box made and covered in vintage Kimono silk is £40. ($65)up to 28 inches. Over that size will be £65 ($95)
All prices include postage in the UK and Plus £20 ($35USD) anywhere else
If the painting is badly damaged , creased or stained, I would need to quote on that. However, most creases can easily be flattened and tears are backed with new material. Large holes may be an issue but we can get round that. See the Scrolls In Restoration for some beautiful examples of our restoration ability. However we can not make damaged scrolls look new and any restoration is only dependant on what is doable.
If you want the artist translated that cost is £15 to £25 ($25-$40) depending on work -long poems translated or simple signature and seal- which is what we are charged by the specialist scroll translator.
Please note that we are booked three months in advance at this time.
All prices include postage in the UK and Plus £20 ($35USD) anywhere else

Welcome
to my collection of wonderful Antique Scrolls, Suiseki and Antique
Accent Items' for display in your Tokonoma or special place at home,
exhibition of Bonsai, in your home or your office. I only sell genuine
items and hand painted antique scrolls and do not sell coloured
photocopies or fakes. These exquisite works of art are a superb
investment to give great pleasure and be appreciated by yourself and
your family. Its safe to say that there are scrolls for every subject
and every person. Long, medium or short scrolls, for the home, office,
Bonsai Display or Teahouse. Of course the website is called Tokonoma
Scrolls and this refers to the Tokonoma or display area seen in many
Japanese and Japanese themed homes. The great majority of the scrolls
here are rare and outstanding antique Scrolls but I have also brought
together some superb modern scrolls of the latter part of the 20th
century because think that these artists are quite wonderful. Many
have become eagerly collected as their work has become appreciated. Some
scrolls have been lovingly restored and some former scroll paintings
that have lost the original scroll have been researched and put back
onto silk mounts that reflect the beauty of the artists work during the
period the artist was working. Tokonoma scrolls employ only the
very best restorers and we are proud to have the expertise and
professionalism of a third generation Scroll Mounting Master to
work on our scrolls. However, saying this we also offer many original
scrolls that have not been touched or restored as these are in excellent
condition and a number of these come with their
original tomobako (signed storage box) which is
signed & sealed by the respective artist. Some of these
scrolls are Sumi.
In the Japanese painting tradition, sumi-e
(ink painting) has often been regarded as the highest test of an
artist’s skills. The artist must have the technical skill to control the
brush (yohitsu) and control the delicate balance between the
water and carefully prepared ink (yoboku). The strength of the
brush stroke must do more than replicate or render the subject- it must
embody its vitality and essence as well. As Henry P. Bowie wrote so
succinctly in 1911: ‘Colors can cheat the eye but sumi never can;
it proclaims the master and exposes the tyro.’ (On The Laws of
Japanese Painting, p. 39
