Description
家族は永遠 (kazoku wa eien): family is forever. 家族 kazoku is the family, the household of parents and children and the kin joined to them; は marks it as the subject; 永遠 eien is eternity, and set after a subject as a bare predicate it speaks the way a motto speaks. 永遠 is a young word for so large a thing: the dictionaries first cite it from Nakamura Masanao's 1871 translation of Self-Help, and its sense of what stands outside time came in with the philosophers' vocabulary of 1881, so a buyer who wants forever on a wall is getting the word Meiji Japan chose for it. No Japanese book to 1946 carries 家族は永遠 as a sentence of its own; it is the house's plain Japanese for the English motto, and 永遠 says something a little larger than forever quite means.
About Our Scrolls

Eri Takase was born and raised in Osaka, Japan, and holds the rank of Shihan, the highest rank in Japanese calligraphy, from the Bokuteki-kai and the Bunka-shodo. About Master Takase

Master Takase personally brushes your Japanese scroll when you order. Each scroll proudly bears her red seal, 英利, and her signature.

The scrolls are 12 1/4" W × 43" H (31 × 109 cm) with real silk borders and Japanese paper that are layered so the scroll hangs straight and will not warp over time. The scrolls themselves are made by Sankō (株式会社三幸) in Gifu prefecture, which has been making high quality scrolls since 1947, and we have worked with Sankō for over two decades.
