Torikai Sokei (years of birth/death unknown) hailed from Torikai in Settsu (today’s Settsu City in Osaka). His pen name was Rinshosai, but not much is known about his biography. Most likely he was a descendant of Torikai-no-Maki (Torikai Farm), who was engaged in raising livestock. Livestock dedicated to the palace by local lords were kept by the Torikai family, who served both the Imperial court and military government. Torikai Sokei is known to have originated a new style of calligraphy; a spin-off of the Son-en School (also called the Oiye School). This new style was called the Torikai School and had competent followers, such as Kusunoki Choan (1520-96), the Secretary who served General Oda Nobunaga; warlord Miyoshi Nagayoshi (1522-64); and warrior-poet, Tochi Totada (1497-1545). The addressee of this letter, Yoken-an, reminds one of a Zen monk, but there is no clear identification. Torikai Sokei, in this letter, is pleased now that the war in Settsu (Osaka) and Echizen (Fukui Prefecture) has been put down and that peace finally reigns in the nation. However, since this letter was written during the warning era of the Muromachi Period, the exact date and other details are not known.
