Matsudaira Sadanobu (1758-1829) was the Shogun’s advisor during the latter part of the Edo Period. He was the son of the high-ranking officer Tayasu Munetake (1715-71) and the grandson of the Eighth Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune (1684-1751). He used various literary pseudonyms such as KyokuHo, RakuOh, FugetsuOh, KagetsuOh, etc., but is most well-known by the name RakuOh. When Sadanobu was 17, he was adopted by the Provincial Lord Matsudaira Sadakuni (1728-90) of Shirakawa (Fukushima Pref.) and inherited the family name and title. He became the Shogun’s advisor in 1787 and initiated the Kansei Reforms. His conservative policies, however, were unpopular, so he returned to Shirakawa and worked on the revitalization of the local government. A dedicated scholar in his latter years, Sadanobu wrote Shuko Jisshu (Ten Categories of Collected Antiquities), the illustrated catalogs of antiques and art objects classified into 10 different categories, i.e., bell inscriptions, tomb inscriptions, framed tablets, calligraphy collections, seals and others, along with trace copies, dimensions and their whereabouts.. As such, it is a very valuable historical document. Sadanobu was a Jimyo-In style calligrapher and gladly produced framed tablets, calligraphic works, etc., when commissioned and left behind many such works. This exhibit is a poem from Sadanobu’s private collection Sanso-Shu; Asaji Volume. The Asaji Volume is a collection of 635 waka poems that Sadanobu wrote from around 1812 (age 55) to 1824 (age 67) and was compiled after the “Yomogi” and “Mugura” volumes. The affixed signature of “Fugetsu” is one of the pseudonyms used by Sadanobu. His writing style is likened to the traditional Jimyo-In School in structure, which he varied slightly by using the thick belly of the brush.
“Unthawed Snow” The snow still remains at pine trees’ feet and it’s whiter than last year’s snow.
