Note

Several kind of composition for “tanzaku” format were created for a exhibition, and two of them are introduced this page.

Type A is traditional composition: wide space is put at a head of the paper and the poem is written in 2 lines.

Type B is modern style: 1 fraze is at the top of the paper, and another frazes put in 3 lines under the it.

The A-2 and B-3 came out from me, and went to a person who like them. If you favorite our works, please contact us.
