Mounting artist, Taketo Kido

It bestows the finest "clothing" on calligraphy and painting.

Seikando is a mounting shop in Osaka that has been keeping the light of tradition alive for 15 generations.
At Seikando, Taketo Kido continues to pursue the essence of scroll mounting.

Kido's mounting work is grounded in his background of having been immersed in the world of calligraphy since childhood.
In addition to his 15 years of experience working with a variety of calligraphy and Buddhist paintings, he has a calligrapher's perspective that deepens his understanding of calligraphy and painting, and he values ​​mounting works that look their best by selecting the appropriate fabric.

From the vast variety of fabrics, we select the one that will best enhance the dignity of the piece, and then handcraft it to perfection.
The works framed by Kido's hand go beyond being mere works of art; they complete the appearance of a "sanctuary" that harmonizes the space itself
