Obama Moritaka (1583-1629) was the second son of Obama Takakage (years of birth and death unknown), a great navy general. During the Battle of Sekigahara, Moritaka and his older brother Mitsutaka vied against Kuki Yoshitaka (1542-1600) in Anoriura Bay in Ise (today’s Mie Pref.), and successfully took over the warship Nihon-Maru. Later he became Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616)’s vassal, was rewarded a fief in Shirako, in Ise, and assumed active duty as a navy general.This letter is a thank-you letter addressed to an unidentified hoin (honorary title granted to accomplished artists, physicians, poets, etc., in addition to Buddhist priests) for a feast to which Moritaka and his men had been invited. He must have drunk to excess and does not seem quite sober at the time of this writing. The continuous fast-flowing style, nevertheless, is consistent and is proof that Moritaka was an achieved calligrapher.
