藤原清忠 「業兼本 時代不同歌合絵巻」 断簡|The Poet Fujiwara Kiyotada, from the “Narikane Version” of Thirty-six Poetic Immortals
Unidentified artist
13th century · Section of a handscroll mounted as a hanging scroll; ink and color on paper · Asian Art
This fragment once belonged to a long handscroll known as the “Narikane Version” because its calligraphy was attributed to the courtier-poet Taira no Narikane (died ca. 1209). It is the only portion known to be in an American collection. The poem was inscribed in small, evenly spaced letters that seldom flow into one another. Ne no hi shi ni shimetsuru nobe no hime komatsu hikade ya chiyo no kage o matamashi Don’t uproot the pine sapling in the field roped off for the Day of the Rat— wait a thousand years until it casts a long shadow! —trans. by John T. Carpenter
