Konoe Motohiro (1648-1722) was a noble who lived toward the middle of the Edo Period. His father was Konoe Hisatsugu (1622-1653), and the mother was Princess Akiko, the daughter of Emperor Gomizuno-o. Motohiro was a versatile man trained in aristocratic pursuits such as waka composition and calligraphy in writing and painting. He was particularly known for the classical Jodai-style of writing. The exhibit is a copy of a five-syllable quatrain composed by a legendary poet from the Chinese Tang Dynasty, Hanshan (Pinyin: Hánshān; Jp. Kanzan). The poem had been cited since antiquity as a guiding philosophy of life. The neat and meticulous hand is comparable to that of Fujiwara-no-Kozei (also pronounced Yukinari) as seen in the Wakan Roeishu (Anthology of Japanese Chinese Poems for Recitation), currently among the Sannomaru Shozakan Collection of the Imperial Household Agency. It is a fine proof of artistic mastery Motohiro had attained in Jodai-style calligraphy.
