The ‘Yawata-gire’, traditionally attributed to Asukai Masaari contains manuscript copies from Go-Shui Wakashu, or the Later Collection of Gleanings of Japanese Poetry, and Senzai Wakashu (Anthology of Japanese Poems of a Thousand Years). The segment’s name derives from the Iwashimizu Hachiman (another pronunciation Yawata) Shrine in Yamashiro (Kyoto Prefecture), where the original had been handed down from generation to generation. This segment is considered to have been the property of Shokado Shojo (1584-1639), one of the three calligraphy masters of the Kanei Era (1624-1644), and he was a Buddhist priest serving at the Hachiman Shrine. Originally, it was a part of the thread-stitched bound volume. The paper is a kumogami (lit. paper with floating cloud pattern), with purplish and indigo bluish hues. This segment is a ‘elegy’ from Volume 10 of the Later Collection of Gleanings of Japanese Poetry. The handwriting is attributed to Asukai Masaari (1170-1221), a well-known poet of the Kamakura Period, but without verification. From the calligraphic style, the type of decorated paper, and the assumed dates of completion of the Later Collection of Gleanings of Japanese Poetry and Anthology of Japanese Poems of a Thousand Years, one can conclude that the original calligraphy was created toward the latter 13th century during the Kamakura Period.
