Okamoto Hansuke (1575-1657), a military strategist of the early Edo Period, was born into the Isonokami family but later adopted the Okamoto surname. Although he went by the common name of Hansuke, his real name was Nobunari. He served the Takeda Clan and later became a military strategist under Iyi Naotaka (1590-1659), the feudal lord of Hikone Province. Hansuke excelled not only in swordsmanship but also in the arts of tanka (short verse) composition, tea ceremony and India ink brush painting, in which he showed a special talent. This is Single-line Calligraphy of the last line of “Evening Banquet among the Peach Blossoms,” a poem written by Tang Dynasty poet Li Po (Jp: Li Haku, 701-762) of China. The final line conveys a merry message: “More wine is the penalty for an unfinished poem.”
