A court noble of the early Kamakura Period, Fujiwara-no-Nagafusa (1170-1243) was a trusted retainer serving Retired Emperor GoToba (1180-1239). Born the son of Fujiwara-no-Mitsunaga (1144-?), the Inspector General of Officers’ Records, Nagafusa was eventually promoted to Minister of Popular Affairs and Senior Third Rank. In 1210, he sought the Buddhist discipline under the guidance of Priest Jokei (1155-1213) of Kaijusen-Ji (in today’s Kizugawa City, Kyoto Prefecture), and adopted the Buddhist names of Jishin and Kakushin. As for Nagafusa’s authentic brushwork, the Kumano Kaishi composed during Retired Emperor GoToba’s visit to the Grand Shrine of Kumano in December 1200 is particularly well-known. The exhibited kaishi is signed “Secretary of the Right”. As such, it was written between December 1198 and August 1201, when Nagafusa was 29 and 32 years of age. In addition to the exhibited kaishi, two more poems of the same title (“Plants after the Rain”) remain today: One was written by Fujiwara-no-Kiyozane (years of birth and death unknown), which is currently owned by the Century Cultural Foundation. The other was written by Minamoto-no-Ienaga (?-1234). Both of these may have been written at the same waka party. The uniform kaishi writing format developed after the mid-Kamakura Period. For example, it was necessary to write three lines and three characters, and the three characters needed to be written in Manyo-Kana, or the Manyoshu-style phonetic writing system. The exhibited kaishi, however, does not follow the established pattern, and therefore, is of great importance in the early history of kaishi writing.
Plants after the Rain: Pampas grass, swaying gently in the winds, looks like women beckoning people. A shower came to visit, but whisked away after sprinkling a few raindrops.
