Calligraphy - "Raku" (Joy/Ease) - Calligraphy Artwork - Framed
This is a framed artwork with the kanji character 楽 (Raku, meaning comfort or ease) that was received as a housewarming gift for my parents' new home about 50 years ago.
I don't know who the artist is, but my parents had connections with calligraphers from the Shoshinkai (書神会) calligraphy organization in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, so I believe it's a work by a notable individual from that group.
At the time, my parents mentioned it was worth 200,000 to 300,000 yen, but I would like to pass it on to someone who can appreciate its value.
Dimensions are:
Frame outer dimensions: 54cm (height) x 65cm (width)
Artwork portion: 34.5cm (height) x 33.5cm (width)
The label on the box reads:
26-type corner-rounded female cypress
FN Hanshiro 1/3
I believe these refer to the picture frame.
The condition is good as it has been stored in its box, so I have listed it as No noticeable scratches or dirt. However, please note that the outer box has some stains. (See photos 7 and 8)
