Bambayashi Mitsuhira (1813-1864) was a Japanology scholar and a proponent of the restoration of imperial authority. (The group’s slogan was “Revere the emperor; Expel foreign barbarians”.) Although Mitsuhira was sent to a Buddhist temple at a young age, he later studied Japanese classical thoughts under Kano Morohira (1806-1857) and Ban Nobutomo (1773-1846), the known Japanologists. He held a strong conviction for the restoration of the administration to the emperor, which prompted him to explore the hilly mausauleums in the Yamato region. In 1857, the nunnery of the Chuguji affiliated with the Horyuji Temple invited Mitsuhira to lecture on the ancient history of early emperors and the history of waka. When a radical group of assassins, Tenchu-Gumi, was formed in 1863 in a violent attempt to end military rule, Mitsuhira also joined the group. However, after the political upheaval on August 18, 1863, it was his group of “Expel the Barbarians” that was expelled from Kyoto. Mitsuhira was arrested and imprisoned in Rokkaku in Kyoto, where he died in disgrace at age 52. The exhibit is a waka entitled “Increase the inflow and adjust the outflow” written with Manyoshu-style phonetic alphabet.The persistent movement of the brush, creating strange-looking characters, was a style unique to Mitsuhira. The exhibited piece is a tanzaku-like rendition on a large sheet of paper. It was rare for a writer to put down his stamp on works made in this style.
Water is led to tired fields to cultivate lettuce, but waterways are well-planned to prevent an overflow.
