One of about 20 pieces of my collection, calligraphy and artwork by my martial arts teacher Hatsumi Masaaki. Brushed in black ink on paper, about 22cm x 33 cm, this is an eye-catching decoration for your wall! 

I'm afraid I don't remember the year--it could be anytime between 1998-2008! Some pieces are pretty self-explanatory pictures of people, animals or objects but unfortunately I never made a note on what the kanji were...usually they are connected to the training theme for the year, a concept like "perseverence" or "dignity"; nothing lewd, I assure you!

This particular piece is a hanging bat.  I'm not sure what the significance of this was...there's no Chinese Year of the Bat or any cultural significance in Japan.  I think that Hatsumi-sensei was just inspired in the moment to draw something different.

A few pieces I intend to hold on to.  This one is on sale simply because I could really use the money, and I've no space to display it in my place if I wanted to.  But...maybe You would enjoy a piece of Japan like this!

I will send this via Japan Post i.e. snailmail, as I'll absorb the mailing cost and I want to keep my costs down.
