Tekst 1804

"Tekst" is a handwritten manuscript by Japanese author Jippensha Ikku, created in 1804. The two pages of the manuscript contain a dense amount of text in a traditional Japanese calligraphy style. This is a common format for Japanese literary works from the Edo period, where written narratives were often circulated in manuscript form. The content of the manuscript is unknown without translation but likely reflects the author's signature humorous and satirical style. The work provides insight into the literary culture of the time and highlights the evolution of Japanese writing systems.
