The 108th emperor of Japan, Emperor Gomizunoo (1596-1680) was born the third prince of Emperor Goyozei. After an 18-year reign as emperor, this powerful sovereign wielded influence over the empress and three emperors immediately succeeding him -- Meisho, Gokomyo, Gosai and Reigen, in that order -- through an administrative system known as insei, or rule by a retired emperor. Emperor Gomizunoo was widely learned and showed multiple talents in literary pursuits as well as in calligraphy. The emperor is also known for the famous Shugakuin Rikyu (Detached Palace) that he built in the northern part of the capital.The exhibited brushwork shows aesthetically arranged festive expressions celebrating New Year’s, and quite interestingly, the script appears like a flock of geese flying across the sky. The beauty of individual characters, brush strokes and the poetic rendition are beyond expression. The exhibited page was actually part of a two-page letter; however, the last half is missing, making it impossible to identify the addressee. The extant half has been passed down in the household of Viscount Matsudaira of Shimabara in Nagasaki Prefecture.
波 よりしつかに 一天 四海誠萬鶏五風暁を十雨とおりを なへ黄鶯たかへ 春を ぬ 報して時いたり候へハ朝廷雅風をにはあつめ千歳のなさん歟 国家には太平の曲調を
