Japanese Porcelain Fūchin Pair – Blue & White Hexagon Kakemono Scroll Weights

✦ Colors

• Porcelain body: white glaze with cobalt blue landscape motifs

• Hanging cords: warm brown silk

• Tassels: deep brown with subtle gold accent

The classic blue-and-white palette is widely associated with traditional Japanese interiors, often seen in tokonoma alcoves and tea rooms, creating a calm and balanced visual atmosphere.

✦ Fūchin Materials

• Blue & white glazed porcelain

• Traditional silk cords

Porcelain fūchin are valued for their smooth finish, stable weight, and versatility, making them suitable for a wide range of kakemono styles.

✦ Kakemono Pairing Suggestions

• Calligraphy (Shodō / Zen scrolls): the blue-and-white tones offer gentle contrast to black ink, keeping the presentation refined.

• Sumi-e ink paintings: the cobalt blue subtly echoes water and sky, ideal for mountain-and-river compositions.

• Landscape scrolls (Sansui): ceramic motifs harmonize naturally with architectural and nature themes.

• Seasonal floral scrolls: warm brown cords soften the cool porcelain, especially suitable for spring and autumn displays.

In Japanese scroll culture, collectors often change fūchin according to artwork and season to refresh the visual rhythm.

✦ Additional Uses

Beyond hanging scrolls, fūchin are also appreciated as:

• Paperweights for calligraphy practice

• Decorative accents for tokonoma, tea rooms, and Zen interiors

• Collectible Japanese art accessories
