Kojima Soshin (1580-1655?) was one of the distinguished disciples of Hon-ami Koetsu (1558-1637) and was respected as a master calligrapher of the Koetsu School. He went by the literary pseudonym ShindokuKen Seisai, but nothing else is known about him. From the existing brushwork, one can see that he developed his own Soshin-style of writing, somewhat blending the latter-stage Koetsu style, characterized by varying thick and thin lines, the Daishi style (of the Reverend Kobo Daishi Kukai) and the style of Zhang Jizhi (1186-1266; Jp. Cho Sokushi). As Soshin’s hand is quite similar to that of Ogata Soken (1621-1687; father of Ogata Korin and Kanzan), the two men would have been teacher and student. Thanks to a tea ceremony fad of the early Edo Period, it became fashionable to have scrolls made to decorate the austere Shoin-style room. Many scrolls produced around this time used richly decorated ryoshi paper covered with gold mist and then decorated with paintings/drawings in gold mud. On the shown waka-emaki (lit. picture scrolls of Japanese poems), Soshin wrote 14 poems he selected from the Shin Chokusen Wakashu (New Imperially Compiled Poetic Anthology), a 20-volume collection of poems selected by Fujiwara-no-Sadaie (also Teika, 1162-1241) upon Emperor GoHorikawa’s urging. This anthology was one of the imperially-initiated collections and was completed in 1235. This artistic work shows the beautifully varied thickness of the brush; however, true beauty is found in the way that the brush ran on the paper as an unbroken line. The date in the postscript, 1649, shows that Soshin was 70 years old when writing the exhibit.
