Torikai Sokei (years of birth/death unknown) hailed from Torikai in Settsu (today’s Settsu City in Osaka). His pen name was Rinshosai, but not much is known about his biography. Most likely he was a descendant of Torikai-no-Maki (Torikai Farm), who was engaged in raising livestock. Livestock dedicated to the palace by local lords were kept by the Torikai family, who served both the Imperial court and military government. Torikai Sokei is known to have originated a new style of calligraphy; a spin-off of the Son-en School (also called the Oiye School). This new style was called the Torikai School and had competent followers, such as Kusunoki Choan (1520-96), the Secretary who served General Oda Nobunaga; warlord Miyoshi Nagayoshi (1522-64); and warrior-poet, Tochi Totada (1497-1545). The letter says that Sokei corrected the clean copy of a calligraphic work received from Fukuda Shinsaburo, who is the recipient of this letter, and goes on to give detailed instructions on the gist of calligraphy practice and to encourage the latter to visit Sokei to show his work anytime. This letter allows a glimpse into the teacher-student relationship in the bygone days.
