Takatsukasa Norihira (1609-68) was the son of Regent and Minister of the Left Nobuhisa (1590-1621), begotten by Princess Kiyoko, the daughter of Emperor GoYozei. At the mere age of 24, he was appointed to Minister of the Right, a post he could barely fulfill due to an illness, and records say that he stayed home year after year. Ultimately, his title was raised to Junior First Rank, and he was given the official administrative post of Minister of the Left, but he is known to have spent his latter years without serving any such government posts. The tanzaku that begins with “Even a dull-minded…” is signed simply “Koh”, a one-character signature used by Norihira. Fit for a calligrapher trained under the Konoe School, following the style popularized by Konoe Nobutada, Norihira’s hand is powerful and yet flexible with free-flowing lines. The indigo-dyed ryoshi is beautifully decorated with butterflies and plants/flowers painted with gold mud.
Untitled: Even a dull-minded man like me knows his existence is worthless before lord or king -- just as the white snow is a short-lived, paltry thing.
