Okamoto Hansuke (1575-1657), a military strategist of the early Edo Period, was born into the Isonokami family but later adopted the Okamoto surname. Although he went by the common name of Hansuke, his real name was Nobunari. He served the Takeda Clan and later became a military strategist under Iyi Naotaka (1590-1659), the feudal lord of Hikone Province. Hansuke excelled not only in swordsmanship but also in the arts of tanka (short verse) composition, tea ceremony and India ink brush painting, in which he showed a special talent. Hansuke wrote “A wooden horse neighs in a fiery breeze,” perhaps a twist on a verse originally appearing in the Kukoku Shu (lit. Collection of Uninhabited Valley), a collection of Zen teachings and terminology compiled during China’s Sung Dynasty. Note the typical Daishi School brushwork most noticeable toward the end of this short calligraphy written in Hansuke’s last years. (The Daishi School was patterned after the works of the Great Reverend Kobo Daish Kukai.)
