◆ "Gotai Jirui" Calligraphy Font Dictionary Compiled by Hosho Kai Published by Seito Shobo Title calligraphy by Mr. Meikaku Kusakabe First edition published December 1916 "Shuchin Gotai Jirui" ← Japan's first calligraphy font dictionary This is the revised fourth edition, published November 1925. (I couldn't find any copies from this era when searching on old book websites) Since the first edition in 1916, "Gotai Jirui" has been a long-selling and highly regarded calligraphy font dictionary that comprehensively includes the five styles of Kaisho (block script), Gyosho (semi-cursive script), Sosho (cursive script), Reisho (clerical script), and Tensho (seal script). A rare book from 1925, which is believed to be nearly identical to the first edition. ◎ Approximate size Approx. 11 x 20 cm, B6 size variant Convenient size for portability From a relative's collection It seems to have been used quite a bit at the time, and after a long period of time, there is damage to the cover, discoloration of the paper, stains, and dirt, as well as areas where pages are likely to come loose (photos 11 and 12), which are typical of a book from about 100 years ago. However, there are no missing pages, tears, folds, or writings that would hinder readability of the text...
