Nichiren Shu Mandala Fine-Art Giclée 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.
