◆ "Gotai Jirui" Calligraphy Style Dictionary Compiled by Hosho Kai Published by Seito Shobo Title calligraphy by Mr. Nakaba Chokaku First edition published in December 1916 "Soshu Gotai Jirui" ← Japan's first calligraphy style dictionary This is the revised fourth edition, published in November 1925. (I couldn't find any books from this era on old book search sites) Since the first edition in 1916, "Gotai Jirui" has been a long-selling and well-regarded calligraphy style dictionary that comprehensively includes the five styles of Kaisho (block script), Gyosho (semi-cursive script), Sosho (cursive script), Reisho (clerical script), and Tensho (seal script). A rare book from 1925, which is believed to be almost identical to the first edition. ◎Approximate size Approximately 11 x 20 cm, B6 size variant Convenient size for portability From a relative's collection It is a book from about 100 years ago, and the cover has damage, paper discoloration, stains, and dirt, and there are also areas that may come loose (photos 11 and 12), However, I believe there are no missing pages, tears, folds, or writing that would hinder reading. Thank you for understanding the condition of an old book. If you are interested, I would be happy if you would add it to your collection of Taisho era books. Thank you very much. It will be carefully packed and shipped via compact delivery. Please understand that we may change between Rakuraku and Yu-yu delivery.
