The son of Regent Kujo Kanetaka, Yukiyie (1586-1665) was grandson to Kujo Tanemichi, one of the most celebrated scholars of Japanese classics of the day. Yukiyie was promoted smoothly up the court hierarchy, and, at age 23, he became Regent and then assumed the head of the family. In 1612, Yukiyieresigned from Regency but resumed this post several years later and held it until 1624.In this letter, Yukiyie says he has received three letters, two from someone not identifiable and a third from the addressee. He writes that he is going to deliver all three letters to Lord Nijo, but will orally report the details. Background information is lacking about this letter, but Lord Nijo refers to Yukiyie’s first son, Kujo Yasumichi (1607-66). Knowing that Yasumichi held the high office of Imperial Regent, this letter was likely written between 1635 and ’47, when Yukiyie was in his 50s. The style is natural and the strokes run smoothly, in a carefree manner, amply speaking of Yukiyie’s skill as a master calligrapher.
