Priest Saigyo (1118-90) is depicted at the bottom of this hanging scroll, admiring the holy Mount Fuji. Across the top, Hozobo Shikai (1635?-1688) wrote Saigyo’s poem in three lines. Shinkai was a Buddhist priest but served at the Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine. Although not much is known about his origin, Shinkai is known to have trained under Reverend Hozobo Kojo and to have succeeded his master as the shrine priest. He was well-known as a kyoka (comical or satirical poem) writer and was known to have been invited to recite his works in the audience of Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu. He left behind a poetry collection Kyoka Hato-no-Tsue Shu (Collection of Comical Poems by the Pigeon Staff.) (Note: A walking stick with a pigeon decorating its top was often made a longevity gift as pigeons don’t choke on their food.) Skilled in both India ink-and-brush calligraphy and painting, he admired Shokado Sojo (1584-1639), another priest of the Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine, whose Shokado School (also called Takimoto School) style he adopted. Shinkai was fond of writing kyoka (humorous poem) depicting Mt. Fuji, several of which have survived to this day. One can assume that Priest Saigyo against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji was Shinka’s favorite motif. The poem is cited from Chapter 17 of the New Collection of Ancient and Modern Japanese Poems (Jp. Shin Kokin-Wakashu) . The Shokado-style hand and the humorous and unique brush art reveal Shinkai’s versatility.
