Kozone Seido Fan-shaped Calligraphy "Seifu Jo Rai" - Japanese Art, Tea Ceremony, Collection

This is a calligraphy work on a fan by Seido Ozone.
Seido is the grandson of Kando Ozone, a calligrapher active from the late Edo to Meiji periods, and is positioned in a lineage that inherits his calligraphic style and spirit.

The work features the phrase Seifu Jorai (清風徐来), a saying cherished by literati since ancient times.
It means a clear breeze blows gently, symbolizing calmness, dignity, and a serene aesthetic sensibility. It is a refined expression favored in the worlds of tea ceremony and calligraphy.

The brushstrokes possess a softness combined with strength, and the variations in ink density and the rhythm of the brushwork create a natural flow and resonance across the entire fan surface. Coupled with the expansive form of the fan, this piece exudes a highly elegant charm.

Fan calligraphy is a traditional Japanese art form that has been appreciated as both a practical item and a work of art, and it remains highly popular for decorating Japanese rooms, as tea ceremony utensils, and for collections.

This work is not only beautiful in its calligraphy but also holds historical and collectible value as it comes from the lineage of the renowned Kando Ozone.

While there are some minor scuffs and age-related discoloration due to its age, the piece is in good condition overall.
