Hozobo Shinkai (1626-88) was a Buddhist monk serving at Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine. Priest Shinkai practiced calligraphy and brush-and-ink painting under Shokado Shojo (1582-1639), sado (tea ceremony) under Kobori Enshu (1579-1647), and haikai (haiku) under Matsunaga Teitoku (1571-1654). But it was in composing kyoka (humorous poems) that he far surpassed all others. As one of the representative kyoka writers of his time, Shinkai associated with other famous men of letters, including Ogimachi Sanetoyo (1620-1703), Nakanoin Michishige (1630-1710) and Kitamura Kigin (1625-1705).Interestingly, Priest Shinkai signed this letter with his secular name, Takao. It seems that he had been in the countryside somewhere and writes that he will return home in two days, on November 17th. Takao likely stayed with the addressee as he thanks him for a gift of pinecones (a delicacy). The writing style is typical Shokado School.
