Dimensions: Height: Approximately 272mm Width: Approximately 242mm Shipping Bag Size: Height: Approximately 362mm Width: Approximately 228mm Thank you very much for viewing this item from among the many listings on Mercari's website. This is a shikishi board (decorative paperboard) with the character "Kotobuki" (Longevity/Congratulations), handwritten by Mr. Kiyoshi Sugito, former Mayor of Nagoya. It is in a condition close to unused and is beautiful. When I was in my 20s, my father gave me this shikishi board and told me it was from Mr. Sugito, the former Mayor of Nagoya, and told me to display it in my room. However, I ended up not displaying it and kept it tucked away in the back of a closet. Therefore, it has remained in relatively good condition until now. This is a handwritten shikishi board by Mr. Kiyoshi Sugito, the former mayor who contributed to the development of Nagoya City. The calligraphy of "Kotobuki" (Longevity/Congratulations) in a single character carries the meaning of wishing for longevity, health, and prosperity. It can be displayed anywhere and creates an elegant atmosphere. This is a valuable handwritten work that reflects his achievements as a politician and his personality, making it ideal for collections or as a gift. Please check the photos for details.
