Emperor GoNara (1496-1557) was born the second prince of Emperor GoKashiwabara (1464-1526) and ascended to the throne in 1526 to become the 105th emperor of Japan. However, since constant upheavals in the capital had depleted government funds to officiate his coronation, it was ten years before he was formally enthroned. Amidst the general political developments that precipitated the decline in imperial authority, Emperor GoNara was deeply aware of his role. In 1540, he hand-copied the Heart Sutra, praying for the salvation of his subjects from the famines and epidemics of the time, and dedicated each handscroll of the manuscript to the many Ichinomiya Shrines across the nation. The academically-inclined emperor had received private tutoring in Japanese and Chinese literature from Sanjonishi Sanetaka (1455-1537) and Kiyohara Nobutaka (1475-1550), and his enthusiastic copying of the classics contributed to the revival and flourish of literary pursuits.In calligraphic history, Emperor GoNara is listed under the GoKashiwabara-In School, and his hand closely resembles the brushwork left by his father.
Composing three poems: Dewdrops on Maiden Flowers (Ominaeshi): I hear people’s minds are as fickle as maiden flowers standing against autumn winds. What will be their fate? (Note: The maiden flower in classical Japanese literature often implies a woman.)Bugs in a Cage: Inside a cage, flowers are abloom like brocade, while bugs play their songs, trying to impress the viewer.Waiting Night after Night: You have no idea how heartsick I am as I lie alone night after night, awaiting your visit.
