This hangingscroll is a part of the ‘countryside’ section in ‘Miscellaneous Songs’ in Volume 2 of the Wakan Roeishu, or the Anthology of Japanese and Chinese Poems for Recitation selected by Fujiwara-no-Kinto (966-1041). This scroll shows four succeeding Chinese poems and two Japanese poems composed with the ‘countryside’ theme. The segment name of Tatsuta-gire derives from the fact that the underdrawings of flowing water and crimson autumnal foliage reminds one of the Tatsuta River (in Nara), noted for utamakura (a place famed in poetry). The calligraphy is written on heavy torinoko paper, but dyed paper was used in an intermixed fashion, in the soft hues of light yellow, beige, and indigo blue and light blue. Clove was used to draw the under-painted flowers and bushes, flowing water, grass and clouds. The paper is further decorated with under-painted woodblock printing, resulting in graceful elegance.This fragments listed here show decorative underdrawn clouds, dragonflies and ripened rice. The hand is bolder than the other ancient manuscripts in the same Anthology, showing the characteristics of the Hosshouji School. Although they are attributed to Minamoto-no-Ienaga (?-1234), it is clearly different from the hand on the Kumano kaishi, which is authenticated to be the work of Ienaga. The early 13th century rendition time coincides with Ienaga’s prime time of activities.
