Please note that due to a business trip, shipping will be after November 2nd. Thank you for your understanding. This is a handwritten shikishi board by the late Kenzo Matsumura (Matsumura Kenzo), a former Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and a prominent figure in the Liberal Democratic Party. It is a piece written with a calm brushstroke, and one can feel Mr. Matsumura's gentle personality and beliefs. His signature and seal can be clearly seen in the lower left corner. The wooden easel is not included. Kenzo Matsumura was one of the leading politicians of the Showa era, serving as Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and holding key positions in the conservative mainstream. He was also known as a bridge for China-Japan diplomacy, and his handwritten works are a valuable testament to the history of Showa politics. Shikishi boards handwritten by politicians are currently scarce, and works by historically significant figures are particularly rare, making them recommended for collectors and researchers of Showa history. 【Size】 Approximately 24cm x 27cm (shikishi board size) 【Condition】 ・Some age-related changes (yellowing, light stains) ・Overall, it is in good condition.
