      This waka-kaishi (poetry sheet with 31-syllable court verse) records two poems inspired by a visit of the noted writer, poet, and calligrapher Ueda Akinari to Zenrinji, or Eikandō, near Nanzenji in the foothills of the Higashiyama district of Kyoto. Akinari had moved to Kyoto with his wife in 1793, and played an active role in the networks of poets, artists, and scholars of ancient Japanese literature and culture (kokugakusha, including many included on the Imperial Prince Shinnin collective painting and calligraphy composition in the Cowles Collection). Originally, these poems must have been composed around 1801, and then later included in Akinari’s poetry collection and literary miscellany “A Basket of Writings” (Tsuzura bumi 藤簍冊子, 1806–07). Based on the calligraphy style, and the way Akinari signed himself Shūō (Old Man Aki[nari]), the researcher Nagashima Hiroaki dates this transcription to around 1803 or 1804. Akinari’s archaically elegant but limpid kana reveals his indebtedness study of Heian-period (794–1185) models of sōgana (highly cursive kanji used phonetically).
