Experience the living spirit of Nichiren Buddhism through this remarkable Nichiren Shu Gohonzon reproduction, printed as a fine-art giclée on handmade Japanese Unryu paper. This scroll is based on an early 20th-century Minobu Sect mandala, believed to have been painted in 1908 and preserved in a temple deep within Japan’s mountain region.

Artistry and Meaning

Each character and sacred inscription has been faithfully refined from the aged original with painstaking attention to detail. The Japanese Unryu (“cloud dragon”) paper adds a soft, ethereal quality—its natural fibers creating subtle depth beneath the bold black calligraphy. The high-resolution giclée process reveals every brush nuance, capturing both the artistic expression and spiritual resonance of the mandala.

Silk Mounting

This scroll is finished with an elegant blue-gold silk brocade featuring traditional Japanese motifs. Under shifting light, the brocade transforms—sometimes gleaming with golden warmth, other times reflecting cool blue undertones. This dynamic interplay of color gives the piece a tranquil, contemplative presence suited for both devotional and artistic settings.

A Sacred Work of Art

Equally at home in a Buddhist altar or as a statement of Japanese fine art, this scroll represents both spiritual devotion and artistic mastery. Each one is individually assembled with care and reverence, preserving the integrity of the Nichiren Shu tradition while presenting it in a form that honors its beauty and history.

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.
