Karasumaru Mitsuhiro (1579-1638) was a court noble and a poet, who, from boyhood, was hailed as a talented calligrapher. Not only that, but at the young age of 11, he was appointed Junior Officer of the Right and later climbed to the post of Major Counselor. At first, he was trained in the Jimyo-In School of calligraphy, but was later influenced by the Koetsu Style, while also being attracted to Jodai-yo (the classical style). As an achieved calligrapher, he was likened to the renowned ‘Three Brushes of the Kanei Era’.This letter reads as follows: “Thank you for writing to me. I know how busy you are. I will come in person to convey the details.” Unfortunately, the exact meaning cannot be known except to the writer and the recipient. Executed in a free-flowing script reflective of the Koetsu Style, the letter was perhaps written when Mitsuhiro was in the prime of life.
