Thank you for looking! This is a book collected by my late father, who practiced calligraphy. There are no signs of use. Since no one in the family practices calligraphy, I would be very grateful if someone could use it. Beauty of Kana Author: Sasafune Kuwata Published: April 1974 The front and back covers are sun-faded. Also, there are stains on the title page, top edge, pages, etc., and there is a fold on the corner of the cover. However, it is believed that this will not affect the use of the book. There do not appear to be any other writings or tears, but please forgive me if I have overlooked anything. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. This is a used item that has been stored by an individual for a long time. Please understand this before purchasing. #SasafuneKuwata #Course #Calligraphy #Kana #Gyosho (Semi-cursive script) #Sōsho (Cursive script) #Model #BrushWriting #Kanji #Shuji (Calligraphy) #Training
