Ihara Saikaku (1642-93) was a haikai poet and a novelist of the genre story. Originally, he was born into a wealthy merchant’s family in Osaka, but when his father died when he was still an infant, the family business was delegated to a trusted manager, later allowing Saikaku to pursue a literary career. While studying haikai, Saikaku traveled across Japan and began writing novels on his journeys. At first, he studied Teimon School haikai, but was gradually attracted to the innovative and refreshing styles of the Danrin School. In 1677, Saikaku hosted a literary event titled the “Solitary Haikai Composition of 1600 Poems”, thus pioneering “Yakazu Haikai” events, in which participants competed by the number of haikai they could write in a limited time. After the 1682 publication of his hit novel “Koshoku Ichidai Otoko” (lit. “Amorous Adventures of a Man”), Saikaku mainly worked as a novelist and left behind several masterpieces in the category of genre stories. The exhibited tanzaku is written on ryoshi paper decorated with gold-mud-painted grass and flowers, in keeping with the poem’s spirit. The calligraphy features plain characters, which flow swiftly and lightly.
No word for Miyoshino Plain (Saitama Prefecture) aflame with spring bloom.
