Poem

Rai Kyōhei

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a beige piece of paper with black and red calligraphy on it. The paper is rectangular, with a thin brown border around it and a thicker beige border around that. The calligraphy is written in a vertical column down the center of the paper, with 24 lines of text. The text is written in black ink, except for two red stamps, one in the top-right corner and one on the left side. The text appears to be in a foreign language, possibly Chinese or Japanese. The background of the image is gray, visible around the edges of the paper. The overall appearance suggests that this is an ancient or historical document, possibly a poem or other literary work, by Rai Kyōhei.
