Jikyo (years of birth and death unknown) was a renga poet of the Muromachi Period. Not much is known about Jikyo’s biography except that he was one of the senior disciples of Botanka Shohaku (1443-1527), the representative renga poet of the era. The Sumiyoshi Shrine, Tamatsu-Shima Shrine and the ancient poet Kakinomoto-no-Hitomaro were worshipped among the nobility as the three most celebrated guardian deities of Japanese poetry (waka). The two waka poems copied at the right corner are cited from Shin Kokin Wakashu (Collection of Ancient and Modern Japanese Poems), Vol. 19, “Ceremonial Songs.” The poem on the right has a foreword explaining that it was written for the Sumuyoshi Shrine. The one on the left is attributed to Lady Sotoori (the consort of Emperor Ingyo) and expresses her love. The Lady is worshipped as the reigning deity at the Tamatsu-Shima Shrine. In keeping with the contemporary custom of adding the portrait of Hitomaro at some place in the frame, Jikyo only wrote the Sacred Names. This piece was dedicated to the progress in waka and renga poetry.The Chokuhitsu School, or imperial style, evolving from the Shoren-In School, here creates a beauty rendered by the hand of a master calligrapher.
Poem interpretation: Why is the night so cold? Is my clothing not sufficient? Or has frost already collected on the rooftop at the shrine?My dear husband visits tonight. The spider seems to know what’s coming. She now moves as if she knows someone is coming.
