This hanging scroll presents a Nichiren Buddhist mandala (Gohonzon), inscribed in bold calligraphy by Nichiko (日香) and dated New Year, 1967 (Showa 42). At its center appears the invocation “Namu Myōhō Renge Kyō” (南無妙法蓮華経), surrounded by sacred inscriptions in the traditional format of Nichiren mandalas. The brushwork is expressive and reverent, embodying both spiritual devotion and artistic discipline. The scroll is mounted in ornate brocade, enhancing its ceremonial presence, and the roller ends are decorated with maki-e lacquerwork, adding refined detail and craftsmanship. This piece offers insight into postwar Japanese Buddhist art and serves as a meaningful artifact for collectors of Nichiren iconography, Zen aesthetics, and traditional Japanese calligraphy. 日香 Nichiko Age 1967 Japanese art Buddhist kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Nichiren Mandala Gohonzon Age: 1967 New Year / 昭和四十二年正月 Signature: 日香 Nichiko Whole dimensions: 28.4" W x 70.3" H / 72.3cm x 178.7cm Inside dimensions: 18.9" W x 35.6" H / 48.1cm x 90.5cm Material: Paper Technique: Handpainted Roller ends: Wood (Makie Lacquer) Weight: 450g Condition Antique items have originally crease, stain, damage, and more.
