Blank Custom Makimono for menkyo

[hurricanf6]

I purchased a few years ago a hand scroll that was custom made.
Here is my previous request.

It was not completely what I was looking for and some the requests I made where not followed that being said the quality was fine. I did notice that you have had a few request form people seeking exactly or close to what I am seeking (attached links below). They have also placed orders. I am interested in looking at trying to place another order for 10 to 20 makimono 18cm x 270cm based around this style.

I would love it if you had a picture of one of the scrolls you made for the below requests. If not I can have my instructor take a few pictures of the makimono I got for him in kyoto in 2010 and post them as well. I would really like to find a place to order these as they are so expensive and hard to find anywhere else outside of Japan. Thank you for your time.

These custom requests that are outside of what we typically do are really difficult. Every workshop has it's own signature style or way of doing things. So in a way, this is like going to a Toyota factory and asking them to make you a Ford.

I can probably get to the size you want, but the style, knobs, silk colors, etc will be kind of set in stone. I hope that explains why some substitutions or differences from what you wanted may have occurred with your order. I think those went direct to you, so I didn't even see them (or what variations may have existed).

A picture of exactly what you want is a good start, but don't expect an exact copy. But the price will be good (since I really make no profit on these projects).
