I found this notebook in a used bookstore. It is completely covered with poems. The cover page is titled "Poems of Shiki Masaoka" but I find it hard reading most of the poems due to the writing style? Is it actually his work or just some stuff that's made up?
Thank you for transcribing them Toritoribe!
It's much easier to read now
I have to ask now, but how common is the usage of this cursive(ish) style of writing today? It doesn't seem very common anymore since horizontal writing seems the most common besides formal occasions. Would this also be considered "good" handwriting? My apologies if this sounds like a stupid question
It's not cursive script, but just handwritten regular script. I can't read texts written in cursive script, either. The following text is an example of 水無月 and 時鳥 in cursive script, respectively.
And this is what is written in your notebook. Can you see the difference?
