I am listing textbooks that were used as models at a calligraphy vocational school. The content is wide-ranging and easy to understand, from basic to advanced, and is recommended for those who are about to start learning calligraphy. ● The Concept of Calligraphy Textbooks While other educational textbooks are constantly updated and past exam questions quickly become outdated, this is not the case in the world of calligraphy. Both the "Jo-gakuha" (study of ancient texts) and "Hi-gakuha" (study of stone inscriptions) schools focus on copying classical works, so calligraphy textbooks can be used permanently regardless of the changing times. For this reason, they tend not to depreciate significantly in value, but I would be happy to pass them on to students who will use them with care. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. ● For those starting calligraphy at a university or vocational school in the spring I am offering textbooks, which tend to be expensive when purchased new, at a low price. While there are signs of use (and some study notes in one section), they are perfectly fine for learning. ● How to Save on Shipping Purchasing individual books incurs shipping costs, so buying in bulk is more economical. The items I am listing were purchased in bulk when I was a student at a calligraphy vocational school. I wrote this last time I listed textbooks, but several people bought them individually. (And they all sold out in one day.) There is a function to request a set purchase, so please press that button to make a request. I am considering giving these textbooks away for free because they are heavy and thick, and the shipping costs are incredibly high (sometimes exceeding the price of the textbook itself). Therefore, I would be extremely grateful if you could consider purchasing them in bulk for your own benefit as well. If you buy them together, they will be shipped in a cardboard box, making it easier for both of us to handle. ※ Trend for Used Books in This Series As a reference, I checked and found that this book (¥4,200) has a hardcover finish, and its used market price was ¥3,980 plus shipping of ¥360 (Rakuten Ichiba), etc. for your reference!
