KEY WORD :@art history / paintings | ||||||
@ | ||||||
Also written Ŗo, Ōo, Ŗ@. Can also be called
hyoumoku \Ų when referring to hanging scrolls *kakemono
|Ø. A slender, half-cylindrical roller attached to the upper end of a hanging
scroll or to the far right edge of a handscroll *kansubon
Ŗq{. Wood kakemono hassou are fitted with metal rings kanzagane
čaĄą through which a cord or braid called kakeo | is passed.
This enables the scroll to be hung. In the case of the hand scroll bamboo
is generally used for the hassou and is called hyoushitake \|.This word can also be interchangeable with hassou in general use.
The shape of the hassou is now described as a half-moon hangetsu ¼
shape, but at one time these rollers were square . Even now, one may come
across a four-sided roller on a mounted Chinese work. The inner part of
the hassou is called maki-ita ŖĀ. The outer or round side is
called yama R. There is no set rule for the size of the hassou,
as it corresponds to the size of the jikugi ²Ų (the wooden roller
that the end or bottom of the scroll is wound around). Attached to the cord
of the hanging scroll or directly to the hassou of the handscroll,
is another long braid or cord called a makio Ŗ. In the case of the
hanging scroll, the makio hangs down the back side of the scroll
when it is on display. When the scroll is rolled up and put away, the makio is wound around the scroll and tied for storage. A piece of paper is placed
between the scroll and the makio at this time to protect the scroll, and
this is called a makiogami Ŗ, or makigami Ŗ. The term takuboku
ķŲ, refers to the cord that is used for both the kakeo and makio.
Fine decorative scrolls such as HEIKE NOUKYOU ½Ę[o (Heike Dedicatory
Sutra; 1164, Itsukushima
Jinja µ_Š in Hiroshima prefecture) had superbly crafted metal fittings for use with the makio.
Hassou can also be used to mean the decorative metal fitting for
hanging scrolls of Buddhist and other paintings. This is due to its resemblance
to *hassou kanagu
Ŗoąļ, a decorative metal fitting which is attached to the edges of the leaves
of an entrance gate. When referring specifically to the mounting of a painting, hassou came to be the usual term. |
