Prince Sonjun (1591-1653) was Prince Oh-in’s son but was adopted by his uncle, Prince Kunisuke, and later, by Emperor GoYozei. In 1598, he was admitted into Shoren-In to take the tonsure and train under Prince Ryojo (1574-1643). After he grew up, he was appointed Archbishop and Hoin (lit. “seal of the law”) and served as Prelate of Tendaiji Temple on two different occasions. Prince Sonjun died at age 63 (1653). Thoroughly familiar with the traditional ways and administration under different prelates of Shoren-In, Prince Sonjun took part in the re-editing of Prince Son-en’s book, the “Monyo Ki” (temple administrative records of Shoren-In). In calligraphy, he mastered the Son-en School (Shoren-In School) through private coaching from Prince Soncho (1552-97), eventually becoming the originator of the Sonjun School.

Round Fan before the Moon: My hand fan, so essential in summer, has become useless with the first autumn winds. The round glow of the moon leaves its likeness upon my robe.
