Title

Kore Yori Kisoji (From Here We Enter Kisoji)

Description

A poem written in traditional Japanese calligraphy by a nationally acclaimed artist named Moriichi Kamagaya in 1978 when he was 97 years old. The work was most likely commissioned by the company and a certain number of copies were made to present to client PR associates. The poem as translated by Noa, reads: 'Kore yori Kisoji' - From here we enter Kisoji... Kisoji is the name of a famous road leading into the Kiso Mountain Range. Presumably this is where Mr. Murayama's lumber company is located. The paper included (in Japanese) a biography of the artist, Mr. Kamagaya.
