Konoe Nobutada (1565-1614) was the son of Senior Regent Konoe Sakihisa, Junior First Rank, (1536-1612). His birth name was Nobumoto, which was changed to Nobusuke in 1582 and then to Nobutada in 1599. He was known by the posthumous name of Sanmyaku-In. As the legitimate heir to the established Regent’s family, Nobutada was promoted with unusual speed, reaching Junior First Rank, Minister of the Left at the fair age of 21. In 1592, Nobutada joined Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s campaign to the Korean Peninsula but was denied enlistment. Later, he incurred the displeasure of Emperor Goyozei and was exiled to Bonotsu in Satsuma Province (Kagoshima Prefecture). After three years spent there, he was pardoned and allowed to return to Kyoto (1596). Three years later, he adopted the name Nobutada. Thereafter, he was reinstituted as Minister of the Left and Senior Regent, clan leader, and “Imperial Consort Equivalent”, a tremendous honor. Nobutada excelled in wide-ranging artistic pursuits, including poetry composition as well as calligraphy. His style, hailed as the Konoe School, or Sanmyaku-In School, attracted a wide following. Hon-ami Koetsu, Shokado Shojo, and Konoe Nobutada, the most renowned ink-and-brush artists of the era, were respected widely as the “Three Brushes of the Kanei Era”. This tanzaku was one of the poems by Nobutada, then 39, composed at a waka party held at the Great Buddha Hall, Hokoji Temple, in Kyoto on September 14, 1603. Nobutada compares the beauty of the full moon on that autumn night to the clear and crisp moon often seen over Mount Ubasute (in Sarashina County, Nagano Prefecture), famed in Japanese literature.
September 14, 1603, at the Great Buddha Hall (impromptu poetry party): My only consolation is the exquisite beauty of the moon, perhaps just as beautiful as the famous moon over Mount Ubasute.
