Fujita Yukan (years of birth and death unknown) lived during the early Edo Period. He was born in Tonda in Settsu (Osaka) and later adopted various pseudonyms; first Eikan, which he changed to Yukan, and then changing it to Saiun-Oh (lit. old gentleman of colored clouds) in old age. Yukan’s handwriting was ugly until the prime of his life. Upon strong advice from his wife, Yukan took up calligraphy practice under Shokado Shojo (1584-1639), one of the most celebrated calligraphers of the time, hailed as “Kanei-no-Sampitsu” (Three Brushes of the Kanei Era). Later, Yukan became one of Shojo’s best disciples and trained over a thousand students himself. He also showed talent as a waka poet and in brush-and-ink painting. The exhibit is a copy of Chapter 137 from Yoshida Kenko’s Tsurezure Gusa (Essays in Idleness). The brushstrokes are typical of the Shokado School. This handscroll was perhaps produced as an exemplar for Yukan’s disciples for practicing kana syllables.
