Kitamuki Unchiku (1632-1703) was a famous calligrapher of the early Edo Period who had been trained by Priest Docho of Mt. Koya (the site of a powerful temple). He showed skill in all three different writing forms, namely the regular script (kaisho), semi-cursive script (gyosho) and cursive script (sousho). However, many of Unchiku’s works are rendered in the Daishi School style as he also studied under Fujiki Atsunao (1582-1649), the head administrator of the Kamo Shrine. Paintings of bamboo in black ink were also among Unchiku’s favorite pursuits. On the other hand, he also showed talent in waka and haiku writing and was, in fact, the calligraphy teacher for the haiku master Matsuo Basho (1644-1694).The exhibit is Chinese poem entitled “Eight views of the Xiao and the Xiang” (Jp. Shoushou Hakkei; Ch. Xiaoxiang bajing; The eight well-known scenes of the area around the confluence of the Xiao and Xiang rivers and Lake Dongting in Hunan Province, China.) is written in the formal regular script, which is followed by a Japanese waka written with Daishi-style influence. The writer’s note at the scroll’s end reveals that this exhibit was written as a decorated exemplar, commissioned by a certain noble.
