Nonoguchi Ryuho (1595-1669), a native of Tango (part of what is now Kyoto Prefecture), went up to the city of Kyoto where he practiced doll-making, and was called Hinaya (Doll Maker). He studied renga (a sequence of 17-syllable and 14-syllable verses composed alternately by two or more participants), and later studied haiku (17-syllable complete poem) with Matsunaga Teitoku (1571-1654). In the latter-mentioned field, he was numbered among the seven outstanding pupils of Teitoku. Good at painting and calligraphy, he displayed his ability in brief pictures in economized strokes, in which he inscribed his haiku poems. These were to become the origin of haiga (haiku paintings) of later times.This painting represents Ryuho’s peculiar realm of art. It portrays briefly but deftly the tonsured figure of the ancient poet and essayist Yoshida Kenko (1283?-1350?) seated beyond desk in his secluded adobe. A quotation from the beginning of his essay Tsurezure-gusa is inscribed by the figure.
ひとりともし火のもとに文をひろげて見ぬ世の人を友とするなん、こよなうなぐさむわざなれ。といひし人も見ぬ世の人となれり。見る人も花よ見ぬ世のふる反古
