Nichiren Shu Mandala Fine-Art Giclée Scroll

1863 Nichiren Shu Mandala – Giclée Print on Blue-Gold Silk Scroll close up view

Close up view of the artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll

Bring timeless Buddhist artistry into your home with this exquisite Nichiren Shu Gohonzon reproduction, a fine-art giclée print on handmade Japanese Unryu paper. Each scroll is a faithful recreation of an original Minobu Sect mandala, believed to have been hand-painted in 1863 and discovered in an old monastery in Japan.

Artistry and Meaning

Every symbol, stroke, and sacred inscription has been meticulously restored and refined from the antique original. The texture of Japanese Unryu (“cloud dragon”) paper allows delicate fibers to softly shimmer beneath the ink, giving the piece both depth and authenticity. The giclée process captures every nuance of the original calligraphy—rich, bold black ink set against the gentle translucence of handmade paper.

Silk Mounting

The scroll is mounted with an extraordinary blue-gold silk brocade, woven with traditional Japanese motifs. Depending on the light, the fabric shimmers—sometimes appearing deep blue with veins of gold, and at other times golden with a subtle blue sheen. This ever-changing surface adds a meditative, living quality to the artwork.

A Work of Faith and Fine Art

Whether displayed in a Buddhist altar space or as a centerpiece of Japanese fine art, this scroll embodies devotion, tradition, and the enduring spirit of Nichiren Shu. Each piece is assembled with care and reverence, honoring both its sacred lineage and its artistic beauty.

About My Giclée Prints

This is more than a business for me — it’s a passion. I create fine art prints because I love the process of pairing sacred and historic designs with the perfect paper and printing technique. I experiment until everything feels just right. For me, quality will always matter more than profit. (In fact, there’s a fine art print shop down the street charging twice as much as I do — so maybe I’m doing it wrong, but you get to benefit from my folly!)

James Cowart and Canon Giclee Printer

A photographer that I admire, Jeremy Cowart, and his Canon imagePROGRAF PRO Series printer.

Dedication to Quality

It took years — and a few costly missteps — to find the right printer. My first one worked well with delicate handmade papers, but the dye inks faded too quickly. My second was a massive HP DesignJet that constantly jammed on the specialty papers I love. After thousands of dollars lost, I finally invested in the Canon imagePROGRAF PRO Series — and it was worth every penny.

This remarkable printer has over 18,000 nozzles and can fire more than 32 million ink droplets per second. Combined with 12-color Canon Lucia Pro pigment inks, it produces an incredibly wide color gamut, velvety gradients, and museum-quality precision that ordinary printers simply can’t achieve.

Archival Excellence

I print exclusively with authentic Canon Lucia Pro pigment inks, which are both archival and UV-resistant. Independent tests rate them at 95+ years without noticeable fading — meaning your print will last a lifetime if properly cared for. Of course, like any fine art, it’s best to keep it out of direct sunlight.

Why My Prints Are Different

  • Printed on handmade Japanese and Chinese fine art papers, chosen for their unique textures and beauty.

  • Created with dedication to craftsmanship, not mass production.

  • Offered at prices far below what you’d pay in a commercial fine art print shop.

Every print I make is something I would proudly hang in my own home — because for me, this is about sharing art that matters.



Want a customized wall scroll or custom-sized print? Just contact me!

I can print this larger, on the paper texture of your choice, and give you whatever silk brocade colors you want. Ready-to-frame prints can be delivered in a few days. However, it does take several weeks for custom wall scrolls. Either way, it's worth the wait if you want something really custom and unique.
