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 the 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\u003eBlack, brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCardstock paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacters: 笑門来福 \u003cem\u003eshoumon raifuku\u003c\/em\u003e fortune comes in by a merry gate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem weight: 54 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePacked weight: 254 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. \u003cspan\u003e27.2 cm wide × 24.2 cm tall\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood condition considering age.
