Vtg Japanese Art-board Shikishi
This is a vintage Japanese Shikishi paper (Artboard) painted city scenery with a tower and river. There are three basic types of shikishi paper—calligraphy (poem, haiku) only, calligraphy plus pictures, and pictures only. 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. Recently, Shikishi paper is being used as paper to write autographs of celebrities.
