Yokoi Yayu (1702-1783) was a haiku poet of the mid-Edo Period and was born as heir to Yokoi Tokihira (?-1727), the vassal in Owari Province (today’s Aichi Prefecture). The Yokois were said to have descended from Hojo Tokiyuki (?-1353), the second son of Takatoki (1303-1333), and for generations, the family assumed the post of Commissioner of Temple and Shrine Affairs. Yayu retired at age 53 and dedicated the remaining 33 years of his leisurely life to calligraphy. A man of many talents, Yayu excelled in swordsmanship, Chinese and Japanese poetry (waka and haiku), calligraphy in writing and painting and Noh dance (story chanting and playing the lute-like instrument Biwa). Among all these pursuits, he showed extraordinary talent in writing haiku and essays. He used many pseudonyms, such as Yayu and Hanso-An, which are legible on the writer’s square red stamp affixed to this exhibited piece. Yayu copied his own haiku in large characters onto a quality paper strip cut from a larger sheet. This exhibit is valuable as a rare haiku rendition in large letters. Contemplate the well-balanced Chinese characters and Japanese syllables, artistically rendered in rich and faint ink.
The water drawn out of paddies before autumn harvest gushes out, just like the quickly-departing season.
