✿ "The World of Hiragana: Aesthetics Born from Characters" ・Kuyo Ishikawa ・Price: ¥1,056 ・This book examines the "Sunshoan Shikishi" and other colored papers and fragments that record hiragana poems. While these are masterpieces, it has been said that they contain many errors and omissions. The author, a calligrapher, engages in a thrilling attempt to re-examine these writings with an open mind, seeking out the original landscape of onnade (women's hand) = hiragana. Focusing on the fate of connected characters, forms of characters that cannot be called errors emerge. ✿ "Deciphering the Universe of Brushstrokes" ・Kuyo Ishikawa ・Price: ¥1,100 ・Why do we find calligraphy beautiful?

This book explores the charm of "calligraphy" from various angles, including appreciating numerous masterpieces and, at times, tracing them with your fingers to experience the act of "writing," offering twelve lectures. ● Lightly disinfected. ● I am not considering selling these books separately, so please purchase them as a set. ● The books are in good condition, but they are stored at home and are used items.
