Item Description
This "Buddhist Paradise" wall scroll with fine art print on handmade paper from Oriental Outpost captures the beauty and color of the original while maintaining affordability. Ideal as a centerpiece for your altar or as general decoration.
The characters in the title translate roughly as "Paradise/Elysium (realm of ultimate bliss) Adornment Picture". The adornment in this title refers to the Buddhist virtues and practices of morality, meditation, wisdom, and the control of good and evil forces. This wall scroll is designed to have a classic antique look.
Says Gary Westergren, owner of Oriental Outpost, "I decided to sell Chinese art online because it seems that most people in the world know little about the artistic treasures that are available in China, and even less about the long history of Chinese art whose techniques date back thousands of years."
Gary co-founded Oriental Outpost 14 years ago when he was teaching English in Beijing. He self-describes as "a nerd, web designer, adventurer, TV co-host in China, former Marine, and current U.S Soldier (one weekend per month)."
