The image is probably copyrighted, and so it might not be legal to use it.

You could try ordering blank Phoenix Certificates. They are not too expensive, and I have seen them in packages as small as 10 to as many as 50 per package.

Another option would be to have someone you know with artistic talents draw a master certificate for you, using the Phoenix Certificate as a model. Since this type of certificate is common in Japan, and has been for many years, the idea isn't copyrighted, only the exact design. So a similar design would be okay, as long as it wasn't an exact tracing.

Good luck, and I hope this helps.

Ok. Where it's possible to find web-site for ordering?

[Prince Loeffler]

Hi Pavel, Does the site where you found the model sells it ?

I'm afraid the source I had no longer sells blank certificates. She is a calligrapher, and now appears only to offer custom certificates she has written.

I'll keep searching.

The image I have is from one of my certificates.

If the image in the link you posted is of your certificate, then you must have access to a scanner.

Can't you just scan it at high resolution and save to a CorelDraw format?

[Pavel Dolgachov]

I can make it in CorelDraw in two ways:
1. As an a picture.
2. In curves.
For printing curves are better, but it needs a lot of time.

I have asked two calligraphers I know of if they would give me the address for their paper supplier.

If I don't have an answer in a few days, I'll see about scanning one of mine or creating a new one.

Maybe I can start a small business selling blank certificates, since they seem so hard to find lately.

Here's a link to a reputable Japanese calligrapher in the UK : Kamura Ayako Sensei

http://www.thejapanshop.co.uk/

Although the website isn't particularly dynamic, Kamura Sensei will custom write certification for students and, I understand that she also has paper with the motif you desire.
