This is a calligraphy instruction book by Mr. Keisui Taniwaki, also known as Kocho (Tiger Pig), a calligrapher and educator from Kochi Prefecture who instructed many students. Both he and his son were awarded the Kochi Prefectural Cultural Medal. This is Mr. Keisui (Kocho) Taniwaki's calligraphy education guide. Although it is an old book, it begins with the essentials of calligraphy, and includes: ● Shikishi (square paper), Tanzaku (vertical strips of paper), and Chirashi-gaki (scattered writing) ● How to write letters ● Headings for gifts and resumes ● Famous works of ancient people Many beautiful and elegant examples are included. (I only have the second volume, I apologize.) Published: June 25, 1938 Author: Kocho Taniwaki (Keisui) Publisher: Kochi Prefectural Kochi Daiichi Girls' High School Alumni Association, Marunouchi, Kochi City This book allows us to imagine the educational environment and the students' learning at the time of publication. I believe it is still very useful for our calligraphy studies today, and I am offering it for sale. Due to long-term storage, there is discoloration, folding, and tearing. Please take a look at the photos and understand and accept the condition before purchasing. -
