Shikishi Archive and Collection
Shikishi are the most Japanese form of painting — small square panels that unite calligraphy, poetry, and ink painting. Our archive presents several hundred works, from Zen inscriptions to seasonal motifs, preserved as part of an ongoing research project.
This page is part of an ongoing research project. The archive is constantly growing, and new descriptions are added over time. Only a few collections worldwide focus on shikishi, and each discovery helps us understand this unique Japanese art form more deeply.
