The exhibited bound shikishi (decorated square sheets of paper) was a long time in the making. Originally, Reizei Tamemitsu (1559-1619) copied poems from the Anthology of Thirty-Six Poets (Jp. Sanju-Rokkasen; selected by Fujiwara-no-Kinto). After a few decades, the original Reizei calligraphy on shikishi squares were bound into a folded book along with silk-screen paintings rendered by the painter Tosa Mitsusuke (1675-1710). The plain or dyed ryoshi paper on which the poems are written was decorated by scattering small silver and gold foils all over it. Some of the ryoshi were further decorated with gold-mud sketches or cloud patterns woven into the paper’s fabric. Tosa Mitsusuke was the son of Mitsunari (1646-1710) and was a painter of the Tosa School during the early Edo Period. He first went by the name Mitsutaka, but assumed the name Mitsusuke when he succeeded Mitsunari (1675) as the legal heir of the Tosa School of painters. His autograph is found on the very last page of this edition, which shows a poem written by a poetess, Nakatsukasa. The calligrapher, Reizei Tamemitsu, was the son of the Minister of Popular Affairs, Reizei Tamemasu (1516-1570). His style was typical of the classical Teika style, developed by the Reizei family’s remote ancestor, Fujiwara-no-Sadaie (often pronounced as Fujiwara-no-Teika; 1162-1241).
