Konoe Nobutada (1565-1614) was the son of Regent Sakihisa (1536-1612). His infancy names were Nobumoto and Nobusuke, and he later adopted the literary pseudonym Sanmyaku-In. Nobutada was appointed the Minister of the Left of the Junior First Rank at age 21. In 1592, he tried in vain to enlist in the Korea Campaign waged by Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598). This attempt angered Emperor Goyozei (1571-1617), who exiled Nobutada to Satsuma Province. But in this remote province, Lord Shimazu Yoshihisa (1533-1611) welcomed Nobutaka and hosted him for three years, after which he was pardoned and allowed to return to the capital. In 1605, he was nominated Regent and the head of the Konoe Clan.An excellent poet and calligrapher, Nobutada developed a style that would later be called the Sanmyaku-In School. Along with Hon-ami Koetsu (1558-1637) and Shokado Shojo (1582-1639), Nobutada was admired widely as one of the “Kanei-no-Sampitsu” (Three Brushes of the Kanei Era). The exhibit shows a waka cited from Go-Shui Wakashu (Later Collection of Gleanings of Japanese Poetry; Vol. 15). Nobutada wrote with dynamic brush movements, using light India ink. Although it is not signed, the style is, without the slightest doubt, attributable to Nobutada, as the free-flowing dynamic brushstrokes are typical of his Sanmyaku-In style. The exhibit is one of the rare extant “large letters” by this famous calligrapher.
As the morn approaches, the moon descends to the far side of the mountain. If I were the moon, I would not come back to this gloomy world tomorrow evening.
