This segment shows a quite rare kohitsu-gire calligraphy workpiece from the the Kokin Wakashu (Collection of Ancient and Modern Poems) as it is written in katakana. The frequent notations in the top and bottom margins reveal that it belongs to one of the groups of manuscripts made by Fujiwara-no-Kiyosuke. In this group, there is an extant manuscript in Kiyosuke’s authentic hand preserved by Kamo-no-Suetaka (1754-1841) and this manuscript (the Seikado Bunko Version) was further hand-copied by Enomoto Hirochika (?-1833) in 1831, toward the end of the Edo Period. It is quite unfortunate that only Volumes 11 through 20 have been preserved, out of the total of 20 volumes, with many leaves missing.The handwriting is attributed to Fujiwara-no-Kiyosuke (1104-77), a poet of the latter Heian Period, who was the son of Fujiwara-no-Akisuke (1090-1155), the compiler of the Shika Wakashu. Kiyosuke was an accomplished poet, who was lauded along with Fujiwara-no-Toshinari and Priest Saigyo. At present, kohitsu (Ancient Calligraphy) attributed to Kiyosuke include the Kiyosuke Version Kokin Wakashu and the dairi-gire , but authenticity cannot be verified since no calligraphic works in Kiyosuke’s authentic hand have been preserved to serve as a reference. The segment shows the song of parting from Volume 8. The notation at the top refers to the Kingyoku Shu (compiled between 1007 and 1011), and Shinso Hisho (lit. ‘hidden collection of the deep window’, compiled by Fujiwara-no-Kinto). For Shinso Hisho , only one ancient manuscript scroll exists today from the latter Heian Period as the property of the Fujita Museum of Art. This segment helps one to envision the popularly read Shinso Hisho of ancient times. At present, two other kohitsu-gire segments have been recognized for the Katakana Edition of the Kokin Wakashu (Collection of Ancient and Modern Poems), which, however, are different from the segment shown here. Therefore, this piece is of great importance in Japanese literature.
