I've found it very interesting going over all the tattoo images on your site. Also, your comments on the different scripts are very helpful.

Are you getting out of the custom mounting altogether?

Gary, I received the package yesterday, which is awesome that I got it so soon. I opened the box but didn't take the scroll out of its bubble wrap, so it's still taped up. My concern is with humidity and all that stuff. Would it be safe to leave it wrapped up like it is in its box for another week? ...

I am an arts conservator with the constant problem of finding a silk brocade supplier. We restore Japanese and Chinese screens, scrolls, and much more.

Hi Gary: Thank you for your quick answer. My husband and I have been looking all over for a scroll that has the Kanji characters on it, in a scroll form. Can the scroll be made to custom fit a niche?

Thank you!
