How Asian Wall Scrolls are made?

Question

I mean the Exact process for making a complete japanese wall scroll ... ...... i know the general plan but not the exact process which i coudn't found till now...

the general plan : ( as found on the net search )

-Your artwork is ready Or Do your calligraphy on xuan (rice) paper .
-Once the art is complete, the rice paper is mounted (laminated) to a few more sheets of rice paper and some silk brocade cloth is also laminated around the outside of the artwork ( how???)

-This cloth then becomes a scroll when a wooden roller is added to the bottom, and a frame and rigging is added to the top.

i need the complete exact process of the making with details...
thanks .......

Answer 1

The silk cloth will be glued in place. As for the scroll itself you will need a 1" dowel for the top and a small strip of wood for the bottom (or you can use the dowel on both ends). Carefully line up the top of the paper at a right angle to the dowel, wrap it around (fold it over) and glue it to the dowel. You could also cut a slit in the dowel, lengthwise and insert the paper into the slit but make sure to add a couple drops of glue or a wedge so it won't slide out when hung. It's the same process at the bottom . Roll it up and tie it off with a ribbon.
