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’.As to the addressee of this letter, Karasumaru Mitsuhiro only wrote “Mr. Counselor”, without writing the recipient’s family name. This fact indicates that Mitsuhiro and the addressee were very close, so perhaps it was Mitsuhiro’s own son, Mitsukata (1600-38), who was then Provisional Middle Counselor. The two had not seen each other for quite some time when Mitsuhiro received the draft of a poetry composition from him. In the letter, Mitsuhiro praises the poem and attaches a poem he himself has composed. He writes, “I hope the flowering season this spring will last forever.”This letter seems to have been written impromptu, which was Mitsuhiro’s style when he was a little drunk.
