Vintage Shōwa Japanese shikishi – wa calligraphy with ink circle

Vintage Japanese shikishi from the late Shōwa era, featuring the calligraphy of the character wa (“harmony”).

Meaning note:
The character wa expresses harmony, balance, and a quiet sense of agreement. The surrounding circle creates a contained, calm space, emphasizing stillness and inner clarity.
