Calligraphy piece 人生自古谁无死 留取丹心照汗青
山河破碎風飄絮,身世浮沉雨打萍。
惶恐灘頭說惶恐,零丁洋裏嘆零丁。
人生自古誰無死?留取丹心照汗青。

Calligraphy piece 时穷节乃见 一一垂丹青
天地有正氣,雜然賦流形。下則為河嶽,上則為日星。於人曰浩然,沛乎塞蒼冥。
皇路當清夷,含和吐明庭。時窮節乃見,一一垂丹青。在齊太史簡,在晉董狐筆。
在秦張良椎,在漢蘇武節。為嚴將軍頭,為嵇侍中血。為張睢陽齒,為顏常山舌。
或為遼東帽,清操厲冰雪。或為出師表,鬼神泣壯烈。或為渡江楫,慷慨吞胡羯。
或為擊賊笏,逆豎頭破裂。是氣所磅礡,凜烈萬古存。當其貫日月,生死安足論。
地維賴以立,天柱賴以尊。三綱實繫命,道義為之根。嗟予遘陽九,隸也實不力。
楚囚纓其冠,傳車送窮北。鼎鑊甘如飴,求之不可得。陰房闃鬼火,春院閟天黑。
牛驥同一皁,雞棲鳳凰食。一朝蒙霧露,分作溝中瘠。如此再寒暑,百癘自辟易。
哀哉沮洳場,為我安樂國。豈有他繆巧,陰陽不能賊。顧此耿耿在,仰視浮雲白。
悠悠我心悲,蒼天曷有極。哲人日已遠,典型在夙昔。風檐展書讀,古道照顏色。

Kyoani Muse Labo, a collaboration between Kyoto Animation and Evan Call
When Lazuli turned twelve, he found out that he was not really his mother's child, and ran away from home. Filled with sadness, he met a youth named Eden at a church. Eden had beautiful blonde hair and was about the same age as Lazuli.
Eden knew about the 'blue fruit' that Lazuli was carrying. This fruit was a precious gift from Lazuli's mother. And the two of them set off on a journey to find the place that bears this blue fruit."
(translated by me from the official website)

Calligraphy paper from China through Taobao
While they are likely machine made, they still write quite well and are more than enough for practice paper. I mean, they are priced like practice paper (even with shipping costs included) so I guess it was worth it.
