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. The exhibit is one of the hundred decorated shikishi squares with pieces from the Hyakunin Isshu (“Hundred Poets with Hundred Poems”), a page from the originally bound edition. The writing of sharp lines rendered by the Koetsu-style master calligrapher Soshin fills the space in the paper left over after first drawing the image of a celebrated poet, Fujiwara-no-Sanekata (?-998).
Fujiwara-no-Sanekata:My heart is burning with an ardent love. Yet I can’t confess it.Little do you know my burning yearning for you!
