Condition detail of the Hareru original calligraphy artwork showing a slight paper lift after hand-backing.

Condition Detail

This close-up shows a slight paper lift in one area after hand-backing. A similar minor lift can be seen in one other small area.

Because this is a hand-brushed work on calligraphy paper, slight paper movement may occur during the hand-backing process. Once placed under the acrylic panel in the recommended 30 × 40 cm frame, it is not noticeable in normal display.

This condition has been clearly shown and reflected in the price.

Brushwork Detail

This close-up highlights the layered brushwork of Hareru. Adjusted sumi ink density and an extra-long-bristled Yanghao brush, a Chinese goat-hair calligraphy brush, create softness, overlap, and subtle tonal variation within the stroke. This highly responsive brush allows expressive movement, but requires careful control.
