A Japanese-language instruction book in kana calligraphy by Takeda Etsudō, a judge of the Mainichi Calligraphy Exhibition and a director and judge of the Nihon Shodō Bijutsuin. Published in Tokyo by Bunkaidō on December 10, 1968 (Shōwa 43), per the colophon. In the preface (dated May 1968) the author says the book explains kana from single characters through hentaigana (variant kana), linked writing (renmen) and scattered writing (chirashi-gaki), and also covers how ink tones respond to changes in architecture and lighting. The publisher's flyer describes it as a step-by-step course, from basics to appreciation, in the beauty of flowing, linked kana. Contents include brush-holding photographs, kana model sheets, and examples from classical kana manuscripts.
