Emperor Ogimachi (1517-93) was born the second prince of Emperor GoNara. In infancy, his name was Michihito but was called by the pet name “Chachimaru”. The prince’s initiation rite was celebrated in 1533, at age 17, and in 1557, he was finally enthroned. Due to the financial crisis of the imperial household, his enthronement was not celebrated until three years later (1560), when the emperor was 40 years of age. However, support from warlords Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi contributed to the restoration of imperial authority, saving the imperial household from total decline. In 1586, Emperor Ogimachi abdicated the throne to his grandson, who would later become Emperor GoYozei (1571-1617), and he died six years later, at age 77.Loyal to the tradition and teachings of his forefathers, including his grandfather Emperor GoKashiwabara and his father, Emperor Ogimachi was devoted to the preservation of the arts and literature, and he left a number of poetry anthologies. His powerful, free-flowing calligraphic style is classified under the GoKashiwabara-In School. This exhibited tanzaku is signed “Chachimaru” and was likely written when the prince was in his early teens, although the hand shows innate talent.
Flower Viewing in the Morning: The spring morning mist over Mount Yoshino makes people lose their ways. Cherry blossoms appear only faintly at first and then clearly as the veil lifts.
