This decorated square paper Shikishi was handed down to a small temple structure, Sunsho-An, in the precinct of the Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto, which was erected by the samurai and tea aficionado Sakuma Sanekatsu (1570-1642) of the early Edo Period. Sanekatsu possessed 12 pieces of the decorated shikishi paper. Other segments of the same origin which have been preserved elsewhere are also known by the same name of Sunsho-An Shikishi. After the Meiji Era, Sunsho-An Shikishi became sought-after items, as one of three valuable treasures, the other two being Tsugi-Shikishi and Masu-Shikishi. Originally, the shikishi seen here was a part out of the paste-bound book edition, therefore, it was originally a leaf detached from a bound book. The calligraphy contains a Japanese poem and the name of the poet (four seasons, without the introductory text) from the Kokin Wakashu (the Collection of Ancient and Modern Poems). The bamboo-fiber paper is decorated with colored pigment, and patterns are created by sprinkling mica dust and goffering, which was the style developed in the Song (Sung) Dynasty. Although one cannot specify the calligrapher, the style and paper indicate it was created during the latter half of the 11th century. The poem belongs to Volume 4 ‘Autumn Songs’ in the Collection of Ancient and Modern Poems, written by an anonymous poet, and this shikishi paper was only recently discovered.
