Scroll appearence ?

opr1945

2nd Black Belt
awhile back I purchased this scroll ( the long one in Kanji) and hung it outside my office door. Yesterday I decided to change it out. So I just picked one that was about the same width withou looking at it. here it is White Cranes. When I realized how short it was I assumed I would have to lower hook upon whih it hanges. But, I hung it on same hook while I went to find another hook. I relize using the same hook the Cranes were at eye level. Then I notice that the picture ws not in the middle of the scrroll but way below middle allowing it to hung on same hook and put cranes at eye level. I quite like it. So, was this rndom change or are many scorlls picture located so that the picture is at eye level no matter the length. I understan the tradition is to frequently change the scroll along with the sesons or holidays. I have not checked any other of my scrolls as they are packed away.

If you click on the pictures you can see the full scroll placement on the wall.

Thanks.

I like the crane scroll. That's one that I would hang up on my wall. Where did you find the scrolls?

In my opinion they are amazingly inexpensive to very expensive. I did not add the note below.
I am not accociated with ebay and do not receive any benefit from them. I do however make purchases from them. LOL
