Scroll of Miscellaneous Notes written on a Calendar by Priest Seigen (recto)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a long, narrow, aged paper scroll with handwritten text. The paper is off-white and yellowed with age, featuring darker spots and discoloration throughout. The handwriting is small and black, filling the entire surface in dense columns. The text is written in a language that appears to be East Asian, possibly Chinese or Japanese, given the context of the artist and title. The writing is oriented horizontally, following the length of the scroll. There are no images, illustrations, or significant visual elements beyond the text. The overall appearance suggests an ancient or historical document.
