Prince Oyin (1531-98) was born to Prince Fushimino-miya Sada-atsu (1488-1527) but was adopted by Emperor Gonara (1497-1557) and was declared Imperial Prince in 1541. His given name was Sadanari. Later, he entered the Sanzen-In in Ohara, Kyoto, to train under Princely Priest Kajiino-miya Genyin (1509-36). After entering the Buddhist priesthood, he was renamed Oyin. In 1553, the 23-year-old prince assumed the 165th prelate’s post at Tendaiji Temple, the post that he held for 18 years until he retired in 1570 at age 40. Somewhere between 1573 and ’92, he returned to the secular world and changed his name again to Songo and assumed the pen name of Seian. Prince Oyin was thoroughly familiar with poetry composition and calligraphy, and, especially in calligraphy, he was hailed for his mastery of the Sonchin School, originated by Princely Priest Sonchin (1504-50) of the Shorei-In sub-temple.In this letter, Prince Oyin says that he is going to return the white (hunting) robe of a courtier and a black hat that he has been borrowing. He apologizes for his indulgence. The free flow of the strokes shows how adept he was in this art. Since he signed the letter as Songo, Prince Oyin probably wrote it when he was around 50 years of age.
