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 is addressed to Hosokawa Yusai (1534-1610), with whom Mitsuhiro seems to have been exchanging correspondence concerning the Hundred Poetry Party and Nijo Castle Poetry Party. Mitsuhiro was Yusai’s student in the art of poetry composition. As Yusai died in 1610 at age 77, this letter was undoubtedly written before that year, and since Mitsuhiro was 32 years old when Yusai died, this letter was probably written when the talented young man was only in his late 20s or early 30s.
