Taisho period divination as Tsuneko Kondo Kawaseʼs personal itemHrvatin, Klara (Avtor) YijingdivinationSlovene Ethnographic MuseumThe article examines a Taishō period (1912–26) divination document, a per-sonal item of Tsuneko Kondō Kawase, preserved in the archive of her collected documents at the Slovene Ethnographic Museum. It is a handwritten piece of calligraphy depicting a prophecy based on Takashima’s Judgments on the Book of Changes, an important text based on the Yijing or Book of Changes. This document, which Marija Skušek kept until her death, is characterized by its form, calligraphic style, and red stamps. The article aims to explore the transcription and translati-on of the divination, the form and dating of the document, and how it relates to Tsuneko’s life choices. The author raises questions about when Tsuneko acquired the document and whether it influenced her crucial life decisions, particularly before her trip to Europe, during her last visit to Japan, or before her marriage to Ivan Skušek.20242025-02-12 10:02:14Neznano21486UDK: 2-544.8(520)"1912/1926"ISSN pri članku: 1318-8828DOI: 10.35469/poligrafi.2024.466COBISS_ID: 220751875slCopyright (c) 2024 Klara Hrvatin
