Two boxes of shikishi (large shikishi: 59 sheets, small shikishi: 10 sheets) Box 1 (35 sheets total) ◆ 10 sheets with star patterns on the top and bottom edges on a light yellow background Unopened, but upon opening for confirmation, some stains were found on the sides. ◆ 4 sheets with faint paintings on a light green background Opened, with slight stains on the edges, but they are beautiful shikishi, decorated with gold kirihaku (cut foil). ◆ 2 sheets with kirihaku and a pine tree painting in the lower left corner on a light blue background Slight stains are visible on the edges. ◆ 4 sheets of different colors, each in a bag Orange (2 sheets), red (1 sheet), and yellowish-brown (1 sheet) These are clean shikishi with no visible stains. The bags have price tags from "Suzando Hashimoto." ◆ 4 sheets with fan-shaped patterns All 4 sheets have slight stains, but they appear to be gold-flecked paper, and they have special selection obi (sashes). They were not in bags. ◆ 1 folded shikishi A white fan shape in the center of a plant pattern background, with a slight stain on the lower left edge of the fan shape. (No bag) ◆ 10 sheets of small shikishi size Small size and thin, with no edge decoration. No particular stains are visible. Box 2 (34 sheets total) ◆ 6 sheets with gold patterns on the top and bottom on a cream-colored background Some stains are visible. The patterns are the same as the small-sized shikishi mentioned above. ◆ 8 sheets with pink sunago (gold dust) tenchibokashi (gradation) on the top and bottom edges Almost no stains are visible. ◆ 20 plain white large shikishi (10 sheets x 2 sets) General gold-edged shikishi, stored in bags, so no stains are visible. The bags have price tags from that time. Both are believed to have been purchased by my mother, who practiced calligraphy until about 25 years ago. It is unknown whether the boxes are the original ones from the time of purchase, but they appear to be boxes for large shikishi based on their size. The lid of the first box is labeled "Hosho Kin-en" (gold-edged hosho paper). Thank you.
