A kakemono (掛物, "hanging thing"), more commonly referred to as a kakejiku (掛軸, "hung scroll"), is a Japanese hanging scroll used to display and exhibit paintings and calligraphy inscriptions and designs mounted usually with silk fabric edges on a flexible backing, so that it can be rolled for storage.

My dad owns a violin shop so I get good opertunities to photograph the instruments. A full violin is about the most difficult thing to photograph tho, the heads are much easier! But you can still see the flare from the flash even then.

A little cake that had to travel from Arizona to California. Hopefully it made it OK.
There was a topper which was to be added in California so I just placed those flowers on the top for the photo. Painting all that scroll work took FOREVER! Hated putting that gold paper on the base! I would have typically covered the base with fondant or maybe sanding sugar but the cake was being handled by "cake civilians".

These close-up images showcase the intricate craftsmanship of a Carl Thompson Scroll Bass, a true icon in the world of boutique bass guitars. Built entirely by hand in Brooklyn, New York, Carl Thompson’s instruments are as much functional art as they are tonal powerhouses. His scroll basses—known for their distinctive violin-inspired upper horn—are exceedingly rare and highly sought after by collectors and serious players alike.
What sets this particular bass apart is its exquisite use of natural tonewoods, notably cocobolo, wenge, padauk, and possibly purpleheart, each selected for its tonal characteristics and visual contrast. The result is a layered, multi-laminate body that blends form and function with surgical precision. The carved horn and heel transitions show off seamless joinery and sculptural woodwork—there are no shortcuts here, only intention.
The pickups and control layout are minimal, allowing the organic tone of the woods to take center stage. Thompson’s basses are often customized per player, and every detail—down to the wooden pickup covers and knob choices—reflects an uncompromising aesthetic.
The scroll bass has become synonymous with players like Les Claypool of Primus, who famously uses Carl Thompson basses for their punch, clarity, and unique playability. This bass isn’t just an instrument—it’s a legacy, made by one man, in small numbers, with a cult following behind every build.
Seen here at Miki Gakki Bass Side in Osaka, this instrument stands out even in a sea of boutique beauties. For the discerning musician or collector, owning a Carl Thompson is not just a statement—it’s a lifelong relationship with a piece of musical architecture.
Wedding invitation scroll with a Japanese paper wrap. The design is really simple but the quality of the paper makes it, and the ribbon (sheer with satin edges) finishes it off nicely.
This is the scroll part of a very old violin that my Mom had as a kid. I guess it was old even when she got it. She had it repaired and restrung a few years back and it is playable, but nobody in our family plays the violin. I have it setting on top of my computer where I can see it everyday.

You don't always need a grand, sweeping hall to find the best details in a house like this. Sometimes, the most beautiful moments are tucked away in the corners, leading you up to something even better. This is the spiral staircase that winds its way up to the Tower Suite, and it's a wonderful little piece of Victorian craftsmanship hiding in plain sight.
The staircase itself is built from dark, forest-green cast iron. The central column is made of thick, segmented rings, and the steps are pierced with an intricate, scrolling pattern that lets light pass right through. The balustrade is lined with delicate, upright metalwork—thin, twisting vines and leafy floral motifs that give the heavy iron a surprisingly delicate, organic feel. The open-tread design makes the whole structure feel airy and weightless, spiraling upward against the curve of the wall.
But the real magic here is the light. The staircase sits in a curved alcove of pale, buttery-yellow stone blocks, and the sunlight hitting the ironwork casts the most beautiful, intricate silhouettes across the wall. The leafy, scrolling patterns dance across the stone in stark shadows, turning the staircase itself into a piece of moving art. At the base, the same rich, magenta-and-gold patterned carpet we've seen elsewhere in the house anchors the scene, tying this intimate corner back to the grander spaces above.
