Haiku poet of the mid-Edo Period Yosa Buson (1716-84) went up to Edo to study under Enomoto Kikaku’s disciple, Hayano Hajin (1676-1742). He also became a skilled painter, mastering on his own the techniques of Southern Song style brush-and-ink painting (“Nanga”) and, together with another famous painter, Ikeno Taiga (1723-76), perfecting Japanese painting patterned on this style. He later succeeded in creating his own style. While Buson left behind numerous paintings, treatises on haiku and haiku anthologies, his calligraphic style changed from the early rich and slow strokes to the more square and angular style that later characterized the Buson School.This letter is addressed to Buson’s painter friend, Taiga. Fondly reminiscing an enjoyable meeting between the two the day before, Buson writes that he retold Taiga’s instructive story to a disciple, Matsumura Gekkei (1752-1811, later called Goshun).
