COLLECTION DETAILS

A transcription from the Wakan Roei Shu, made by Emperor Go-Kashiwabara, who ascended the throne after the death of his father, Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado. He reigned from 1500 to 1526. Like his father, he sought to recover respect for the Imperial Council after its influence waned due to the Onin War. He was also a talented poet and musician, and composed a poetry collection called Hakugyokushu. Written here are poems from volume two of the Wakan Roei Shu, from the section of Congratulation – a Chinese poem by Tachibana no Masamichi, and a waka poem by an unnamed poet. The Chinese poem reads: “You and I have deepened our friendship while appreciating the flowers and the moon. But now you have become a person of rank and parted from me in my insignificant position, as far as the earth from heaven, and you are no longer in my sight” – conveying the changing feelings towards and old friend over time. The waka poem reads: “It used to be said that you wrap the feeling of joy in your sleeve, but tonight I have so much joy I cannot contain it in my self, let alone in my sleeve”. This poem remains anonymous in the Wakan Roei Shu but it also appears in another book, Senjoshu. It is introduced there as the expression of the joy of Fujiwara no Kintou for being promoted ahead of Fujiwara no Tadanobu, though his own poetry collection, Kintoushu, does not feature this poem.
