Minamoto-no-Nakaie (years of birth and death unknown) was a poet of the early Kamakura Period. The exhibited kaishi of his is one of those classified as “Kumano Rui-Kaishi (also Rui-Gaishi),” in the sense that it differs from the original “Kumano Kaishi” series. The latter was a generic term given to a collection of poems written by Retired Emperor GoToba (1180-1239) and the court nobles who accompanied him, at impromptu poetry parties held during His Majesty’s visits to the Grand Shrine of Kumano. Altogether, the emperor made 27 such visits, but only 34 Kumano Kaishi remain today from among those written during the pilgrimages of 1200 and 1201. The extant kaishi are preserved at Nishi (West) Honganji Temple and elsewhere. So far, 14 authentic writers have been identified, including Retired Emperor GoToba, Minamoto-no-Michichika (1149-1202), Minamoto-no-Ienaga (?-1234), Priest Jakuren (1139-1202), Fujiwara-no-Sadaie (also pronounced “Teika”: 1162-1241) and others. All of the 34 kaishi have two poems written on each sheet. Around the time when the Kumano Kaishi poems were made, the same writers produced another set of kaishi, adopting very similar poem-writing techniques and calligraphic skills, but each kaishi in this group contains only one waka. Devoid of evidence authenticating that this group was written at the emperor’s shrine visits, they are called Kumano Rui-Kaishi (Rui means Similarity), and the exhibited poem is one of them. Records show that “Tinted Foliage in the Dawn” was composed at a waka party in 1200. Four other poets, including Asukai Masatsune (1170-1221) and Fujiwara-no-Nagafusa (1170-1243), have so far been identified as also attending this party. The time of the making of the exhibited kaishi cannot be determined since Nakaie’s years of birth and death are not known. From the official title and amateur writing style and structure, Nakaie was perhaps quite young when he wrote this poem.
Tinted Foliage in the Dawn: Alas! The famous autumn colors of Mount Tatsuta (Nara Prefecture) are visible neither at dawn nor at dusk.
