Mouri Hidenari (1595-1651) was born in Hiroshima as the first son and heir to Lord Mouri Terumoto (1553-1625). At age 5, he was given an audience with Toyotomi Hideyori (1593-1615) and celebrated his coming of age, upon which the name Hidenari was given to him. During the Battle of Sekigahara, Hidenari joined the forces of the Toyotomi Clan. When he was 7 (1601), General Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616) demanded Hidenari be kept as a hostage at the Edo Castle; Hidenari spent the next 10 years in Edo. At age 20, he joined the Tokugawa army in their attack upon the Osaka Castle. He died in Hagi (today’s Yamaguchi Province) at age 57. The exhibited brushwork shows a waka copied from the preface of Kokin Wakashu (Collection of Ancient and Modern Japanese Poems), made in 1605 by the then 11-year-old Hidenari and given to a Sugiyama Juzaemon. Poem interpretation: The flowers of Naniwa Bay, not seen during winter, are now in full bloom as spring has come.Although the original composer is not known, this poem was often used by calligraphy students in their practice, i.e., “iroha song” (poems of Japanese kana syllabary).Hidenari is likely to have copied the poem and sent it to Juzaemon to show the progress of his training. Juzaemon was likely an immediate vassal of the Mohri Clan, possibly Hidenari’s calligraphy teacher.
