This is a calligraphy and autograph by Takako Doi, former leader of the Social Democratic Party. I found it while organizing a closet. It features a Chinese poem by Joseph Hardy Neesima, the founder of Doshisha University: "Truth is like the winter plum, enduring wind and snow to bloom." There is some discoloration due to aging. - Artist: Takako Doi - Condition: Blank on the back Thank you for looking.
