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’.The renowned calligrapher Mitsuhiro was also an appreciator of ancient calligraphic works, often being called upon to determine the authenticity of writings, and this letter is proof of his reputation as such. Having received a scroll of poems from the addressee of this letter, who is simply identified as Mr. Mondo, an officer in charge of water supply, Mitsuhiro informs him that he has determined the calligraphy work to be an authentic rendition by Nijo Tameuji. However, he apologizes for the delay, as he has been busy editing draft poetry compositions by a Mr. Kawabata (possibly Kawabata Doki).
