Since the Heian period, people have been writing waka and haiku on Shikishi paper (various sizes), but in the Meiji period, they started using paper of the current size. In current day, shikishi paper\/boards are used for autographs of celebrities and also commemorative messages to friends, coworkers, and classmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCardstock paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC1970\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem weight: 42 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked weight: 242 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e24 cm wide × 27 cm tall\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood condition considering age.
