May be this is a good place to voice some of our questions, musings, opinions about the concept of the formal display. If Carl agrees, here is a question that I have, and not sure about the answer.
Since I don't have a japanese-style home, I wouldn't really be confortable to have a permanent formal japanese-style display in my house. I could do it once in a while, but it would allways be looked at as "exotica" or curiosity. However, replacing the scroll with a framed painting would go a long way to accomodate the taste of my family members.
Would the framed painting diminish the impact of the arrangement? Of course, it would have to be a painting that supports the centerpiece, which is the bonsai. I am not sure about the effect since I never tried it, but I wander what others think. Would that be blasphemy? It would be especially interesting to hear what the purists think?
Regards,
Attila
