I purchased this calligraphy reference book on the recommendation of my calligraphy teacher. It features the standard script (kaisho), semi-cursive script (gyosho), cursive script (sosho), seal script (tensho), and official script (reisho) arranged vertically, which was very helpful for learning how the styles evolved. A five-style character reference for learning kanji. The cover is damaged, but there are no markings or folded pages. - Title: Shin-sen Gotai Jikan (New Selection of Five-Style Character Reference) - Author: Kouu Suzuki - Publisher: Shuhodo - Language: Japanese Thank you for looking. I hope to pass this on to someone who will find it useful. Thank you.
