Caligraphy on Szechwan Silk by Mi Fu
This handscroll of prized Szechwan silk was made in 1044 under the reign of
Emperor Jen-tsung. The top and bottom grid lines were woven into the scroll with the vertical ones
drawn in ink, indicating that this type of silk was especially made for
calligraphy. The owner of this scroll of silk had asked renowned calligraphers
to write on it, but they only made records at the end. He then encountered Mi
Fu, who consented to write a long piece of calligraphy. The date that he
included at the end of the scroll corresponds to the year 1088.
A beautiful stamp.
