Akihagi-jō, Calligraphic masterwork at Tokyo National Museum, Japan
The Akihagi-jo manuscript spans 842.4 centimeters in length, featuring 48 poems and 11 copied letters on variously dyed paper sheets.
Created between the 10th and 11th centuries, this National Treasure of Japan contains texts written in cursive Japanese script during the transition from Manyogana to Hiragana.
The manuscript derives its name from the opening poem about autumn bush clover, representing the sophisticated literary traditions of the Heian period.
The Tokyo National Museum preserves this artifact under controlled conditions, making it accessible to researchers and visitors through scheduled exhibitions.
The manuscript includes copied letters from Wang Xizhi and features text written on the reverse side containing Chinese military strategy commentary.
