The visit by Emperor GoMizuno-o (1596-1680) to the Nijo Castle was a five-day extravaganza, starting on September 6, 1626．The supreme leader of the nation was entertained at the Nijo Castle built by the military ruler, or shogun. The gala event was marked by performances of bugaku (ancient sacred dance and music dedicated to shrines), poetry parties and concerts of instrumental music and performances of Noh theatre. The extravaganza is described in great detail in the Record of Emperor’s Visit in the Kannei Era (Jap. Kannei Gyoko-Ki) and other documents. The exhibited kaishi, written by Karasumaru Mitsuhiro (1579-1638), shows poems by General Tokugawa Hidetada (1579-1632), his son Iemitsu (1604-51) and Emperor GoMizuno-o. Mitsuhiro, aged 48 then, served the important office of the reader, a person who sonorously reads out the poems just composed by the participating dignitaries.
1. Even the bamboos look as if they are wishing for the everlasting reign of the emperor (Emperor GoMizuno-o), whom I behold admiringly.2. The emperor honors us by visiting the Nijo Castle. May he live long, like the bamboos with their thousand-year lives.3. There is no visible end for the just and straightforward world, like a bamboo forest where Chinese birds (perhaps the phoenix) are known to live.
