A kaishi, literally ‘pocket paper’, was a sheet of paper folded down the middle and carried in the breast pocket. It was used to write impromptu 31-syllable poems known as waka. Konoe Nobuhiro (1599-1649) was fourth son of the emperor GoYozei (1571-1617). His mother, empress Sakiko, was younger sister of Konoe Nobutada (1565-1614). Nobutada had no heir, so he adopted his nephew at the age of seven. Educated by Nobutada in the arts of calligraphy and waka poetry, Nobuhiro was particularly noted for his skill in writing characters exactly like those of his teacher. An avid scholar, Nobuhiro acquired learning in many fields and was particularly fond of the tea ceremony. This waka kaishi was produced for the opening of a poetry gathering on January 19, 1617. Nobuhiro was then 19 and was courtier of the second rank, with the title of Minister of the Right.
