Hanging Scrolls

I often wonder about the hanging scrolls. I understand that it is a kanji quote of some sort. You find plenty of quotes, etc. in the ads placed in periodicals ranging from the system/style name in kanji to other things that are important to the Sensei. I also understand that it has a place where it is hung in the dojo. I believe they are hung on the shoman or wall of honor.

I was also pleasantly surprised to read in Mike Clarke's book, Shin Gi Tai, that the pictures of the masters for a dojo are place high on the wall which is, as Mike Clarke has provided, considered a place of honor. I didn't know that the frame is black for a reason as well. I understand it has something to do with the masters being deceased but that needs verification and validation.

Ok, the hanging scrolls. I should have known that like many things the scroll has parts and names/labels for those parts. I found this snapshot of a scroll with nomenclature. If it is from your dojo please let me know and if you would prefer I remove it from this post.

I also have seen such scrolls in the Okinawan dojo but am not sure if this is new to them, i.e. adapted from Japanese dojo, but they are there now. It may or may not have been a tradition in Okinawa even tho I am led to believe they have existed in Japanese dojo for a long time.
