書状（須田剋太筆）

　同じく小山美秀子に宛てた須田剋太の書状。三越百貨店での個展来場への礼を伝えている文は複写されたものだが、絵は直筆。紅白椿といえばおそらくは、東大寺の修二会「お水取り」の折の献花を意味するものであろう。

This letter was written by Suda Kokuta and addressed to Mrs. Koyama Mihoko, founder of the Miho Museum. The text thanking the recipient for attending the one‐man show being held at the Mitsukoshi Department Store is a reproduced text, but the painting was created here by hand. The red and white camellias are reminiscent of the flowers offered on the occasion of the Omizutori ceremony held by the Shunie at Todaiji temple.
