This kaishi written by Fujiwara-no-Kiyozane (years of birth and death unknown) has the same title (“Plants after the Rain”) as the one written by Fujiwara-no-Nagafusa (1170-1243). (Also preserved at the Century Cultural Foundation.) Both poems convey a very similar mood, so they probably were written at the same waka party between 1198 and 1201. The Lineage of Noble Families (Jp. Sompi Bunmyaku) lists four men having the same name as this poet, who was most likely the son of Fujiwara-no-Nagakiyo and a noble lady in the household of Fujiwara-no-Tadazane (1078-1162). Kiyozane later became Secretary of the Bureau of Carpentry, but at the time of the writing this kaishi, he was a third secretary in service to the emperor’s grandmother and, as such, a very young man. The heavy strokes and elongated letters show Hosshoji School characteristics, developed by Fujiwara-no-Tadamichi (1097-1164; Tadazane’s son). It was necessary to write three lines and three characters on each kaishi, and the three characters needed to be written in the Manyoshu-style phonetic writing system. The exhibited kaishi, however, does not follow this established rule and, therefore, is of importance in learning the early history of kaishi writing.
Plants after the Rain: The morn after an evening shower, the root of the dayflower trailing on the fence is deep green with the water it drank.
