Description
苦しんだ学んだ変わった (kurushinda mananda kawatta): I suffered, I learned, I changed. 苦しんだ kurushinda is suffered; 学んだ mananda is learned; 変わった kawatta is changed; three verbs in the plain past with no particles and no pronoun, since Japanese leaves the I to the speaker, and the sequence is the sense: hardship, then the lesson, then the person who came out of it. It is the same three-verb shape Japanese gives Caesar's veni, vidi, vici, 来た見た勝った. The English circulates as a motto with no author anyone has fixed; the Japanese is the house's, and it is as terse as the English and a little more so.
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.

Delivery

The scroll is completed within 1–3 business days and is shipped from Master Takase's studio in Washington State by USPS Priority Mail. It arrives ready to display.
