times across Japanese history - written in bold monumental gyōsho calligraphy that fills 
the entire scroll with the force of a single breath of devotion. Signed Nanyō, "Kinsho" 
(written with reverence). Navy peony brocade hon-hyōgu mounting. Shōwa era. A scroll 
that transforms any room into a space of contemplation.
