正射正中 seisha seichū Correct Shooting, Correct Hit

Correct Shooting, Correct Hit in Japanese is 正射正中 which is read seisha seichū

正射正中, read seisha seichū: correct shooting, correct hit.

The four characters are the maxim of Japanese archery, that shooting done correctly hits, so attend to the form and the hit follows, and the English title is the English Wikipedia's 2005 rendering of these four characters. The form the kyūdō federation writes is 正射必中, seisha hitchū, correct shooting, certain hit; the scroll's form, with a second correct where the standard has certain, is the less common of the two written forms, in print since 1936, and it means the same thing.

Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase brushes your scroll by hand when you order it. Each scroll 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.

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
