The Sumiyoshi-Sha Uta-awase (Poetry Contest at the Sumiyoshi Shrine) was held on October 9th, 1170, hosted by Fujiwara-no-Atsuyori (1090-?) and later offered to the Sumiyoshi Shrine in Settsu (today Osaka). The judge was Fujiwara-no-Toshinari (also Shunzei, 1114-1204), who was 57 at the time. This segment includes the left and right poems of the third and fourth sections of ‘recollections’ and judge’s comments. Five fragments of ‘the moon over the shrine’, have survived to this day from the Poetry Contest at the Sumiyoshi Shrine, all of which are written on paper decorated with gold and silver foil and dust. However, the segment shown here has no such decoration and considering that the footnote to the first poem of the fourth section contains a notation, the decorated version could have been the clean copy that were dedicated to the shrine, while the segment shown here could have been a draft copy that the calligrapher had kept for himself.The calligrapher is said to be the Priest Jakuren (?-1202), but the hand resembles that of Fujiwara-no-Norinaga (1109-1180) as seen in the Futarasan Version of the Gosen Wakashu (Later Anthology of Japanese Poems ). As Norinaga’s younger brother Yorisuke (1112-86) entered his poem in the said poetry match, there is a possibility that the greatest master calligrapher of the times, Norinaga, rendered the final, fair copy.
