Otagaki Rengetsu (1791-1875), the popular Kyoto-born poetess, was originally named Nobu. She was adopted by Otagaki Teruhisa soon after her birth. She married twice but was bereaved twice, and since her four sons all died young, she joined a nunnery headed by Gesshin of Jinko-In Temple and was given the Buddhist name of Rengetsu. Later she embarked on a pottery-making business, living in various parts of Kyoto. She wrote her own waka poems on the pottery she created, which soon became sought-after crafts, with the appropriate name of “Rengetsu Pottery.” Also an excellent poet, Rengetsu studied waka writing under Ueda Akinari (1734-1809) and Kagawa Kageki (1768-1843), deeply attractedto the styles of Ozawa Roan (1723-1801). The poems in Exhibit is from Rengetsu’s private poetry book Ama-no Karumo. Both fine examples of Rengetsu’s artistry, they were written in the poet’s old age, at age 77. Note the graceful brushwork, though rendered at such an old age.
Traveling at a time of blossoming cherry trees, I was not offered overnight stay at a friend’s house. But that was my fortune. I can now sleep directly under the blossoms and the misty moon.
