Emperor Fushimi (1265-1317) was the second prince of Emperor Gofukakusa (1243-1304) and was the 92nd emperor of Japan. An accomplished artist himself, he consulted with Kyogoku Tamekane (1254-1332) and later commissioned him to compile the Gyokuyo Wakashu (Gyokuyo Poetic Anthology) of twenty volumes. He was a well-known calligrapher master at a young age and his fluid style later came to be recognized as the Fushimi-In School of calligraphy, and was recognized to be the main style of writing for imperial documents, especially during the Kamakura Period. Emperor Fushimi’s legacies include his authentic letters and a diary (Emperor Fushimi Imperial Diary) and Hirosawa-gire segments.The segment appearing here shows Emperor Fushimi’s handwritten copies of poems of his own choice from the Gosen Wakashu, or Later selection of Japanese Poetry , from the manuscript he made of the Three Greatest Poetic Anthologies, i.e., Kokin Wakashu (Collection of Ancient and Modern Poems), Gosen Wakashu (Later selection of Japanese Poetry), and Shui Wakashu (Collection of Gleanings of Japanese Poetry), each containing 20 volumes. The editorial postscript at the end of Volume 20 of the Gosen Wakashu (Later selection of Japanese Poetry) states that this piece was written by Emperor Fushimi in 1294 when he was 30 years old. The segment’s name ‘Chikugo-gire’ may be attributed to the Lord of Chikugo of the early Middle Ages who could have owned the original.The slender and fluid strokes are exquisite, and the style speaks of the emperor’s training in the ancient style, especially that of Fujiwara-no-Yukinari (972-1027). Furthermore, the somewhat gloomy and subdued beauty of the kumokami printed on the top and bottom of the ryoshi paper further pleases the eye of every kohitsu connoisseur. This segment is also valuable in the study of the artistic development of decorated Japanese paper.
