Noted calligrapher of the Edo Period Terada Muzen (?-1691) served three generations of the noble Konoe family and is said to have lived to the amazing old age of 119. Studying calligraphy under Fujiki Atsunao (1582-1649), Muzen mastered the classical Jodaiyo style. With this and his training in Confucianism, waka and renga (linked verse) composition, chanoyu and Zen philosophy, he was hailed a true intellectual of the era.In this letter, Muzen thanks Hasegawa Masasada (1648-94) for working as an intermediary in the borrowing of a tea jar used in chanoyu from Hasegawa’s master, Shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna. Muzen adds that he will thank Mr. Hasegawa properly by visiting him at a later date. This letter serves as a good example of Muzen’s refined taste in chanoyu (tea ceremony).
