Butterfly Scroll

蝶 is the simplest way to write “butterfly” in Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

If you are looking at the Chinese pronunciation and Romanization, please note this is not pronounced like the English “die.”
It actually sounds like “dee-ah.” (Chinese Romanization does not exactly follow English or Latin pronunciation of Roman letters).

 ní lǜ
Nero Scroll

This is a common transliteration to Mandarin Chinese for the name Nero.

This is also the name of Nero, the Roman emperor in Mandarin.

 luó màn
Roman Scroll

羅曼 is the transliteration to Mandarin Chinese for the Latin / Spanish name Roman.

 roman
Roman Scroll

ロマン is the name Roman in Japanese.


Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.

 sasuke
Sasuke Scroll

サスケ is the Japanese title of the TV show, Sasuke Rising.

サスケ is the original Japanese TV show that inspired the American Ninja Warrior, Ninja Warrior UK, and other variations.

It should be noted that in Japan, the show's title is usually displayed in capital Roman letters as “SASUKE,” rather than the Japanese text, サスケ. Although, both titles are known in Japan (you'd probably need to search for サスケ if looking to buy a Sasuke DVD in Japan).


Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.

 tú lēi
Thule Scroll

圖勒 is the name Thule in Chinese (Mandarin).

This can refer to Thule as the most northerly location mentioned in ancient Greek and Roman literature and cartography.

 viinasu
Venus Scroll

ヴィーナス is the name Venus in Japanese Katakana.

This can refer to the Roman Goddess or the planet Venus.

Sometimes also written ビーナス (biinasu) in Katakana.


Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.

All of our calligraphy wall scrolls are handmade.

When the calligrapher finishes creating your artwork, it is taken to my art mounting workshop in Beijing where a wall scroll is made by hand from a combination of silk, rice paper, and wood.
After we create your wall scroll, it takes at least two weeks for air mail delivery from Beijing to you.

Allow a few weeks for delivery. Rush service speeds it up by a week or two for $10!

When you select your calligraphy, you'll be taken to another page where you can choose various custom options.

A professional Chinese Calligrapher

Professional calligraphers are getting to be hard to find these days.
Instead of drawing characters by hand, the new generation in China merely type roman letters into their computer keyboards and pick the character that they want from a list that pops up.

There is some fear that true Chinese calligraphy may become a lost art in the coming years. Many art institutes in China are now promoting calligraphy programs in hopes of keeping this unique form of art alive.

Trying to learn Chinese calligrapher - a futile effort

Even with the teachings of a top-ranked calligrapher in China, my calligraphy will never be good enough to sell. I will leave that to the experts.

A high-ranked Chinese master calligrapher that I met in Zhongwei

The same calligrapher who gave me those lessons also attracted a crowd of thousands and a TV crew as he created characters over 6-feet high. He happens to be ranked as one of the top 100 calligraphers in all of China. He is also one of very few that would actually attempt such a feat.
