Iijima Shunkai published "Showa Kohitsu Meikan" in 1967, but due to reflections on the insufficient restoration of paper and colors, this book includes all-color, full-size reproductions. "Calligraphy originated in China, and a second form of calligraphy was born in Japan. The greatest of these is 'Kana' (Japanese syllabary), followed by 'Wayotai' (Japanese style)," says Iijima, who carefully selected this book, which is filled with elegant and beautiful Kana and warm and beautiful Kanji that respond to that beauty. You can enjoy the beautiful world of Japanese calligraphy. ■Size■ Box Base 44.1cm (H) x 36.3cm (W) x 4.7cm (D) Weight: Approximately 10kg This item has been stored at home for many years.
