A court noble and poet of the early Edo Period, Reizei Tameyori (1592-1627) was born the first son to Reizei Tamemitsu (1559-1619). He was given the title Junior Third Rank in 1627, but he died the same year at the age of 36. As the 7th-generation head of the Kami-Reizei Family, Tameyori assumed the family profession and, along with his father, taught Kobori Enshu (1579-1647) in the art of waka. Just like his father, Tameyori also mastered the Teika School calligraphy, originated by his distant ancestor Fujiwara-no-Sadaie (also Teika; 1162-1241), and his writing shows a characteristic mixture of slim and bold lines, which is clearly discernable in the exhibited kaishi. From the title of this kaishi, “Pine Trees’ Promise of Everlasting Spring”, we now know it was written at the New Year’s Poetry Party of January 19, 1612. Tameyori was 21 years of age then. The kaishi is highly decorative.
On a spring day, a poem composed with the theme “Pine Trees’ Promise of Everlasting Spring”: Under His Majesty’s reign, which shall be as eternal as the life of the pine tree, how many more springs will we see?
