## What is KAKEJIKUYA?
We at KAKEJIKUYA hold a dream:
Connecting the "story" of mounting culture to the future.
— Arranging the minds of the world with hanging scrolls, and connecting the world with Japanese tranquility.
While inheriting the techniques of "Kyokando," a hanging scroll specialty shop founded in 1937, we have produced various hanging scrolls, including requests from individual customers, exhibitions, and art purposes for TV dramas and movies.
## A Quiet Change
In this context, we have felt a certain change in recent years.
Currently, customers from truly all over the world visit KAKEJIKUYA seeking hanging scrolls.
The United States, France, Spain, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Georgia, Romania, Jordan, Israel, Iran, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Iceland, Russia, Germany, Canada, Cyprus—
People with different cultures, religions, and values are going out of their way to find our store on the upper floor of a building and visit KAKEJIKUYA just to seek hanging scrolls.

## Why Hanging Scrolls?
Buddhism was born in India, systematized in China, and has uniquely deepened in Japan while connecting with daily life and aesthetics. Hanging scrolls are also a culture nurtured within this flow.
And now, its value is once again sought by the world.
Zen and mindfulness are not mere trends; for modern people living amidst busyness and information overload, they are beginning to be accepted as something related to the fundamental question of "how to live."
In a society where one is constantly chased by something, compared, and continuously evaluated, people unknowingly lose sight of their own senses and rhythms.
That is exactly why now, a time to do nothing, a space with margins, and simply existing quietly are becoming important elements for people to return to their true selves.
