千字文 (Senjimon / せんじもん / The Thousand Character Classic) was used in ancient China as a textbook for Chinese characters and a model for calligraphy. That was conveyed to Japan. *This is the 行書(ぎょうしょ / Gyōsho) of 西川春洞 (にしかわ しゅんどう / Nishikawa Shundō) , a master of calligraphy who was active during the Meiji and Taisho periods.
