This one came from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. I think the text was scrolling across one of those signs you see in hotel lobbies and airports, with the crawling text.

This scroll depicts Hōnen Shonin (1133-1212), founder of Japanese Pure Land Buddhism. In contrast to the difficult path of obtaining Buddhahood through one's own efforts, Hōnen taught that enlightenment was accessible to ordinary people through the acceptance of grace from a higher power. Yanagi applied this idea to craft practice, arguing that true beauty was achieved through surrendering the self to the 'Other Power' (tariki) of tradition, repetition, and nature.*

Art Without Heroes - Mingei
(March - September 2024)
Art Without Heroes: Mingei is the most wide-ranging exhibition in the UK dedicated to Mingei, the influential folk-craft movement that developed in Japan in the 1920s and 1930s. With works including ceramics, woodwork, paper, toys, textiles, photography and film, the exhibition incorporates unseen pieces from significant private collections in the UK and Japan, along with museum loans and historic footage from the Mingei Film Archive.
Mingei is a term coined by the Japanese philosopher and critic Yanagi Sōetsu (1889-1961) to mean ‘the art of the people’ and ascribes cultural value and aesthetic purity to traditional craft objects, unnamed makers and a simpler way of life. The exhibition considers Mingei both as a historical moment and as a set of principles that remain relevant to contemporary craft, manufacturing and material consumerism worldwide.
Like the British Arts and Crafts movement, Mingei was a response to rapid industrialisation. Mingei developed in dialogue with the work of William Morris and his contemporaries, within a specifically Japanese context that included the strong influence of Pure Land Buddhism. The exhibition also introduces the significance of Korean, Okinawan and Ainu objects to the Mingei movement, showing how these independent cultures contributed to what tends to be seen as a quintessentially Japanese aesthetic.
Divided into three parts, the exhibition starts with the 19th-century craft objects the Mingei movement looked to for inspiration. The second part of the exhibition focuses on the origin and evolution of the Mingei movement during the 20th century. Spearheaded by Yanagi, Japanese studio potter Hamada Shōji (1894-1978) and British studio potter Bernard Leach (1887-1979), it proposed an alternative to the rise of industrialism that accompanied the modernisation of Japanese society. Together Yanagi, Hamada and Leach, who described themselves as the ‘three musketeers’, championed the Mingei ideals of ‘art without heroes’, true beauty and traditional craft skills, leading a revival of interest in folk crafts.
The final section of the exhibition considers 21st-century iterations of the Mingei movement and modern re-interpretations of its core values. It shows how the term ‘Mingei’ has been reinterpreted and reclaimed by contemporary artists, including work by Theaster Gates which explores the spiritual and artistic dialogue between Black and Japanese craft traditions, a key concern of his practice.

Scroll of Fire is a monument found in the Jerusalem hills, and it commemorates Jewish history from The Holocaust until Independence. The monument was inaugurated in 1971.
The initiative for the monument came from B'nai B'rith of the United States, and was funded by them. The monument was sculptured by the artist Nathan Rapoport, who is a Holocaust survivor.
One of the scrolls describes the Holocaust and the other describes independence. In the space between the two scrolls, there are two rooms of memorial, and in each one is engraved a quote from the bible.

Der neue LGBTIQ* Weihnachtsmarkt in Berlin
Die LGBTIQ* Winterdays (15. November - 23. November 2019) und der Weihnachtsmarkt „Christmas Avenue Berlin“ auf dem Nollendorfplatz ergänzten Berlins Weihnachtsmärkte. Der Nollendorfplatz direkt am Metropol Theater erstrahlte in neuem Glanz. Zum ersten Mal fand dort ein LGBTIQ* Weihnachtsmarkt in Berlin statt - die „Christmas Avenue“. Am 25.11.2019 öffnete die „Christmas Avenue“ ihre Tore.
Groß geworden in Köln, zog es die „Christmas Avenue“ nach vielen erfolgreichen Jahren nach Berlin. Die Schirmherrschaft für die „Christmas Avenue“ Berlin übernahm der Regierende Bürgermeister a.D. Klaus Wowereit.
Neben Glühwein, heißen Cocktails, einzigartiger Dekoration und täglich wechselndem Bühnenprogramm präsentierte sich der Weihnachtsmarkt der LGBTIQ* Community als ein Markt für wirklich jeden - alle waren willkommen. Der Markt bot neben einer erstklassigen Getränkeauswahl, kulinarischen Highlights und einem unvergleichlichen Lichtkonzept einen täglichen Adventskalender, präsentiert von den Hotels der „pink pillow Berlin Collection“. Jeden Tag hatten alle Besucher die Chance, beim Öffnen der Türchen tolle Preise abzuräumen.
Die „Christmas Avenue“ Berlin bot ein tägliches Bühnenprogramm in den Abendstunden. Hier präsentierte sich das „Who is Who“ der LGBTIQ*-Community. Wöchentlich wiederkehrende Tages-Highlights wie etwa die „Happy Hour“, „Drag Bingo“ am Dienstag oder die Wahl zum „Face of Christmas Avenue“ jeweils mittwochs sorgten dafür, dass garantiert kein Tag wie der andere war. Eine Partyhütte für bis zu 50 Personen ausgestattet mit einer Glühweinzapfanlage konnte incl. einer Eisstockbahn für private Weihnachtsfeiern gemietet werden.
Als Bereicherung für die Berliner LGBTIQ*-Szene war die „Christmas Avenue“ nicht nur eine zusätzliche Attraktion in der Hauptstadt, sondern leistete durch Spendenaktionen zudem einen besonderen sozialen Beitrag zugunsten diverser gemeinnütziger Vereine.
Moderatorin (Sängerin) Marie Mondieu alias Stefan Kuschner und Moderator Addi Kaey suchten das FACE OF CHRISTMAS 2019.

Christmas Avenue Berlin - The finale of the 2019 Face of Christmas Avenue competition
The new LGBTIQ* Christmas market in Berlin
The LGBTIQ* Winterdays (15 November - 23 November 2019) and the Christmas market "Christmas Avenue Berlin" on Nollendorfplatz complemented Berlin's Christmas markets. Nollendorfplatz, right next to the Metropol Theater, shone in new splendour. For the first time, an LGBTIQ* Christmas market took place there in Berlin - the "Christmas Avenue". Christmas Avenue opened its doors on November 25, 2019.
Having grown up in Cologne, Christmas Avenue moved to Berlin after many successful years. Former Governing Mayor Klaus Wowereit took over the patronage of Christmas Avenue Berlin.
In addition to mulled wine, hot cocktails, unique decorations and a daily changing stage program, the Christmas market of the LGBTIQ* community presented itself as a market for everyone - everyone was welcome. In addition to a first-class selection of drinks, culinary highlights and an incomparable lighting concept, the market offered a daily Advent calendar presented by the hotels of the "pink pillow Berlin Collection". Every day, all visitors had the chance to win great prizes by opening the little doors.
The "Christmas Avenue" Berlin offered a daily stage program in the evening hours. The "Who's Who" of the LGBTIQ* community presented themselves here. Weekly recurring daily highlights such as "Happy Hour", "Drag Bingo" on Tuesdays and the election of the "Face of Christmas Avenue" on Wednesdays ensured that no two days were ever the same. A party hut for up to 50 people equipped with a mulled wine dispenser and a curling rink could be hired for private Christmas parties.
As an enrichment for the Berlin LGBTIQ* scene, the "Christmas Avenue" was not only an additional attraction in the capital, but also made a special social contribution to various charitable associations through fundraising campaigns.
Presenter (singer) Marie Mondieu aka Stefan Kuschner and presenter Addi Kaey were looking for the FACE OF CHRISTMAS 2019.

I'm experimenting on a piano scroll, first it was stablized with freezer paper, then inks were applied to the surface and then some shiva paintstiks. I plan to add encaustic medium to the surface next.

Next, I used tracing paper and outlined the scroll, flipping it over to the other side so that both sides would match.
As you can tell from the image, the bass has some miles on it since it is what she first started with and has played in several school, camp, and adult syphonies. Again, life through my 50mm - my exercose for today.
I received this traditional scroll from Beijing University's medical school, announcing my lecture there on Tobacco and Health (1986).

Scrolls Lace pattern from More Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. Knit with Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn single-ply wool on number 1 double points.
The Noro colors were lovely. I wanted fraternal socks, so knit one from the outside of the skein and the other from the inside. The yarn is crunchy and the “thin-thick-lumpy” ply OK. Not too problematic, but tricky with the yarn-overs.
"This large Buddhist scroll from Buseoksa -- [it's about 15 ft. (4 m.) tall] -- was made for outdoor rituals. The scene of Sakyamuni's preaching at the Vulture Peak occupies the center of the painting. The Three Buddhas depicted in the upper part represent the Buddha's world that prevails in the universe beyond temporal and spatial boundaries. This iconography epitomizes the Joseon people's understanding of the Buddha, who appears to be numerous yet in fact is one."
