Horie Jibusai (1612-1693) was a noted calligrapher of the early Edo Period. His real name was Yorinao, and Jibusai was the pseudonym he adopted after retirement and shaving his head, becoming a faithful Buddhist. In his early career, Jibusai worked for the Kyogoku Family of Marugame Province (Kagawa Pref.) but later moved to Kyoto. After his retirement, he traveled through various provinces and died at age 82 in Aki Province in today’s Hiroshima. The exhibit “The Sound of Autumn” is quoted from an essay of one of the “Toso Hakka” (Ch. Tang-Song Ba Dajia; lit. eight most outstanding classics writers of Tang and Song dynasties) authors. From the calligrapher’s note at the scroll’s end, we know this piece was written in August 1645 when Jibusai was 34. The free and fluent movement of the brush across silk is obviously the Jodai School (classical). Jibusai left another waka scroll (of 1659) featuring the Daishi School style, which is proof of this writer’s versatile talents. The Rakuyo Meihitsu-Shu (lit. Rakuyo Anthology of Masterpieces; pub. 1674) has a reproduction of Jibusai’s style, indicating that he achieved fame in his lifetime. His style is said to have attracted followers who gave the style a unique name of Master Jibusai.
