I was drawn to and purchased this hanging scroll-style interior item for displaying postcard-sized calligraphy or paintings. Would you like to give it as a gift? Uses: Shikishi (square cardboard for calligraphy/painting), calligraphy/sumi-e (ink wash painting) Placement: Wall-hanging and tabletop use Color: Although described as blue, it gives the impression of gray. It's closer to a bluish-gray. Size: Measured from the bag, the shorter side is 15.5 cm and the longer side is 19.5 cm. Measurements are approximate. Please understand that there may be slight variations.
