Okamoto Hansuke (1575-1657), a military strategist of the early Edo Period, was born into the Isonokami family but later adopted the Okamoto surname. Although he went by the common name of Hansuke, his real name was Nobunari. He served the Takeda Clan and later became a military strategist under Iyi Naotaka (1590-1659), the feudal lord of Hikone Province. Hansuke excelled not only in swordsmanship but also in the arts of tanka (short verse) composition, tea ceremony and India ink brush painting, in which he showed a special talent. This calligraphy cites a line from Tao Yuanming’s poem “Come Away Home” and is written over delicate India ink under-painting. The river is depicted by the traces of ink running across the paper’s surface, to which a bridge and a waterwheel are added. The pine, willow and bamboo trees and other details are laid out along the river in a well-balanced manner, creating an exquisite decorated paper. Although gold mud is used to add luster to the work, the brushwork gives off more of a somber than luxurious impression, as if the entire work had been rendered monochromatically. The Daishi-style calligraphy Hansuke mastered matches the decorated paper well. The postscript states that Hansuke rendered this chodo-tehon in 1644 at age 70 upon Kahoku Shuyo’s (perhaps Hansuke’s disciple) request.
