The excellent calligraphy of the Heian and Kamakura periods has been cherished as 'kohitsu' (meaning 'old calligraphy'). Kohitsu generally refers to fine calligraphy of waka poems, but more widely it refers to various forms and styles of calligraphy including shakyō(hand-copied Buddhist sutras) and tales, writing on kaishi and tanzaku (paper for poetry), diaries and letters. The use of colorfully decorated ryōshi paper and elegant lines of scripts show the aesthetic of the period. In later periods, they were divided into fragments and made into 'kakejiku' (hanging scrolls) and 'tekagami' (albums of fragments or detached segments), delighting the eyes of many. In this exhibition, we will introduce the beautiful world of kohitsu and present the National Treasure “Minoyu-no-Tomo” for the first time after its restoration.
