This is a shikishi board (a stiff paperboard used for calligraphy and painting) with the character "福" (fuku - good fortune, happiness), presumed to be handwritten by the 31st generation Gyoji (chief referee) of Sumo wrestling, Shonosuke Kimura. There is a sense of use. Shonosuke Kimura is the title given to the highest-ranking Gyoji in Sumo wrestling, and their presence on the dohyo (wrestling ring) symbolizes the formality of Sumo, alongside the wrestlers. The 31st Shonosuke was active from the Showa to Heisei eras, and his calligraphy combines strength and dignity. The "福" written boldly with powerful brushstrokes is a lucky charm wishing for good fortune, happiness, and prosperity. If displayed in a tokonoma (alcove) or entrance, it will brighten the space as a good luck charm for family safety and business prosperity. The signature of the 31st Shonosuke Kimura is on the left, and the red seal is also clearly stamped, making this a valuable piece of calligraphy. Please check the photos for details.
