Ono-no-Otsu (1568-1631?), the woman who was allegedly the writer of Joruri Monogatari (Tale of Lady Joruri) has come to be known by several different stories of her life. She was known to be extremely intelligent, excelling in poetry composition, musical instrument playing, calligraphy, and painting. She was a lady-in-waiting in service to Lady Yodo (?-1615), General Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s concubine, and Princess Sen (1597-1666), the daughter of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and was known to have contributed greatly to the education of many women in military rulers’ households. Her calligraphic style was called the Otsu Style, which found avid followers among women.This poem, written on undecorated paper, is a quote from Volume 1 of the Shui Wakashu, or Collection of Gleanings of Japanese Poetry. As this brushwork shows, it was customary for the calligrapher to indent the second line when quoting the poem another. This brushwork also exhibits an artistic mix of bold thick lines with delicate think lines.
Untitled: Looking for cherry trees in bloom, I’m caught in a shower. Yet, wet or dry, I’d rather be standing here under the blossoms.
