Jimyoin Motonobu (?-1470) was Motoshige’s son and was the father of Motoharu (1453-1535), who is credited with the establishment of the Jimyoin School of calligraphy. Though he was appointed to the Junior Third Rank in 1469, he died in the following year. Not much else is known about him. This tanzaku shows powerful and bold strokes, quite different from traditional styles, and as such, is very unique and impressive. The poem title, “Long-enduring Love,” was written by a different hand, indicating that the tanzaku had been prepared with title in advance for an impromptu poetry composition party. Written on the spot, Motonobu’s poetic skill is apparent in his use of kakekotoba, a type of wordplay, in the words “endure” and “pines,” which are both pronounced “matsu” in Japanese:
Enduring Love: How patiently I endure with a defeated heart – if only you could hear. Oh, winds, blowing against the pines in my garden, won’t you go and tell her?
