A prominent Confucian physician of the early Edo Period, Oze Hoan (1564-1640) hailed from Kasugai County in Owari Province (Aichi Prefecture) and was a member of a family line that had branched off from the Toki Family, which for generations lived in Mino Province (Gifu Prefecture) as provincial governors. His real name was Doki, but he was better known by his pseudonym. This Confucian scholar cum physician also changed his surname several times, from the original Sakai to Dohi, and finally to Oze. Assuming the family profession, Hoan served Toyotomi Hidetsugu (1568-95) as his doctor, but after his master’s death, he went to live in Kyoto (1592~1615), where he worked in editing and publishing books. Afterwards, he went to Izumo (Shimane Prefecture) to work for the local daimyo (military ruler given a fief), Horio Yoshiharu. Becoming unemployed after Yoshiharu’s death in 1611, Hoan lived in Harima (Hyogo Prefecture), Kyoto, and other places. In 1624, Hoan went down to live in Kaga Domain (Ishikawa Prefecture), where his son Sakai Juan had been hired by Lord Maeda Toshitsune (1593-1658). In addition to his Confucian scholarship, Hoan was also a talented military strategist and historian, writing the Shincho-Ki (lit. “The Chronicles of Oda Nobunaga”) and the Taiko Ki (lit. “The Biography of the Grand Kampaku”; Grand Kampaku, or “Taiko,” always refers to Toyotomi Hideyoshi). The thin and slender lines of the exhibited tanzaku characterize Hoan’s brushwork.

Reprimands: Heavy dewdrops weigh down the leaves, which are never dry.
