Collection: Sunshoan Hanger (Shikishi Display Board)
The Beauty of Japan Expressed on Small Paper
Sunshōan refers to a traditional standard size used for Sunshōan shikishi,
a small square sheet of decorative karakami paper.
Historically, this format was used for transcribing individual poems from the
Kokin Wakashū, one of Japan’s most celebrated classical poetry anthologies.
When kana poetry or haiku is written and displayed on elegant Sunshōan shikishi,
the work gains a refined presence and a distinctly Japanese sense of beauty.
