Nishimura Myakuan (1784-1853) was the town leader of Yoshihara in Edo. Privately attracted to the work of famous Kyoto potter Ogata Kenzan, who was Ogata Korin’s younger brother, Myakuan emulated Kenzan so well that he was sometimes called the fifth-generation Potter Kenzan. Myakuan, indeed, was a versatile and cultured man, trained in ceremonial tea, waka, and haikai. He was also an accomplished biwa player and a connoisseur of ancient calligraphic masterpieces and utensils for ceremonial tea. His calligraphy is dynamic without the slightest trace of hesitation, a proof of his years of training in the Konoe School (Sanmyaku-In School). One can see his talent on the exhibited tanzaku. The ryoshi paper was patterned by copying the designs of roughly woven cloth and then decorated with gold and silver foils.
Azalea blossoms: Azalea blossoms adorn the hills of Narabi-ga-Oka (in northwestern Kyoto); the Mountain Goddess puts them in her hair.
