A noted calligrapher wrote two poems (about a bird and a flower of each month, made by Fujiwara no Sadaie; 1162-1241) on each of the twenty four shikishi (decorated square paper), which were pasted or bound together into an accordion-like album. The Minister of the Right Kujo Hisatada (1798-1871) wrote the title on the cover. The inscription on the back of the album box says that this edition was given by Emperor Ninko (1800-1846) to Ohta Sukemoto (1799-1867), the Deputy Governor of Kyoto, when he went to the court to bid farewell upon his retirement and pass on the official work to his successor, Matsudaira Nobuyori (1793-1844). From the different writers’ names and their terms of office, we can assume that this book was planned and created with the specific aim of giving it as a farewell gift to Ohta Sumimoto.The six shikishi paper squares are dyed in six colors (deep green, golden, maroon, white, blue and aqua) with cloud and sandbar motifs printed with gold and silver mud, over which miniscule silver and gold dust foils are scattered, depicting a mist. The underpainting of plants and flowers adds further splendor to the shikishi.
