Comment: This work is very large in size.
In the Japanese calligraphy industry, it is not often that works like this are put up for sale. This is because there are various constraints in the calligraphy industry, and if someone who is not good at selling their work, it will create negative rumors about the artist. They said the artist wasn't focusing on his or her art and was just trying to make money.
However, Koen-Hamakawa who are really good at calligraphy don't get any bad news. Everyone approves of the sale. That's because she's a professional in every sense of the word. Harmonic font works are rarely sold because they are difficult to write, but Koen-Hamakawa puts them up for sale because she is confident in her work. Koen-Hamakawa is elderly. We doesn't know when she will stop producing new works. Please purchase as soon as possible.
The work is written in a font called harmonic. Harmonious type is a writing method that mixes kanji and kana characters. There is no such notation in China, and it is the most commonly used notation in modern Japanese daily life. But this Japanese notation is very difficult, and even if an amateur tries to imitate it, they will not be able to write it neatly and express its beauty. If you imitate something, you'll know right away. It makes you look very childish. There are many places in this work where Gyosho is used, and even people who have not studied Japanese calligraphy can read 50% of the characters, making it easy to understand.

The item will be shipped in a roll, so it may have curl shape. We recommend that you ask a professional company to store the item in your frame.
