雅俗一新要文
A Meiji-era Japanese calligraphy primer printed in 1886 by Shōreidō, with text by Takahata Ransen, brush writing by Sase Tokusho and editing by Kishida Ginko, aimed at readers learning cursive kana and classical phrases. The pages show dense columns of flowing brushstrokes with small printed kana readings beside them, so a designer could take their lively gestural line and strong vertical rhythm as models for hand-lettering.
