Kyogoku Tamekane (1254-1332) was a poet of the Kamakura Period. He was Fujiwara-no-Tameiye’s grandson and son to Tamenori, who later established the Kyogoku household. Winning deep trust from Retired Emperor Fushimi, Tamekane engaged actively both in politics and poetry-writing and reached the position of Provisional Major Counselor. Tamekane vied with his cousin Nijo Tameyo (1250-1338) for a position on the selection committee summoned for the compilation of imperially commissioned poetic anthologies. He won the selection feud and was able to finally dedicate the Gyokuyo Wakashu (lit. Collection of Beautiful Leaves of Japanese Poetry) to the Emperor in 1312. But in the following year, when the Retired Emperor entered a Buddhist monastery, Tamekane followed His Majesty. It was in the same year (1315) that he was exiled to Tosa for provoking the anger of Saionji Sanekane. Tamekane was never able to return to Kyoto and died a forlorn death in Kawachi.The draft letter describes kemari, a ball-kicking sport, and says that a fight erupted between Tamekane and Tameyo over oral instructions passed down by their grandfather Fujiwara-no-Tameiye (1198-1275) concerning the art of kemari. It further depicts the ongoing fight over the Way of Kemari, or the authentic way to play kick-ball, between Munetsugu of the Nampa family, the originator of this art, and the Mikohidari family, which had excelled in the art since the time of Tameiye. The bitter arguments arose in February 1284. In those days, leading experts in kemari assumed leadership and instructors’ positions, making the teaching of it their family business, so the art was transmitted from one generation to the next by means of oral instructions. The letter describes arguments that occurred between different households, each claiming proprietary rights to the business.
