Title: The Story of the World's Scripts -The Forms of Eurasian Scripts- Dates: April 9, 2016 - June 5, 2016 Venue: Ancient Orient Museum This is a valuable academic exhibition catalog that traces the roots of scripts from around the world. It introduces over 30 types of writing systems against the backdrop of 5,000 years, from the ancient civilizations of the Middle East and Egypt to the Silk Road and the Japanese archipelago. It explains how the diverse scripts of Eurasia were born, changed, and spread, with abundant materials, including not only kanji and kana, but also the origins of the alphabet and mysterious-looking scripts that don't even appear to be "writing." It comprehensively includes archaeological, historical, and art materials, and is highly recommended for those interested in script history, ancient civilizations, linguistics, calligraphy, and design. Both the content and illustrations are substantial, making it a valuable resource. The condition is also good, making it ideal for collection.
