REKISENTEI (CHOKYOSAI) EIRI. Courtier and Two Ladies of the Court, with a Poem by Mibu no Tadamine

Courtier and Two Ladies of the Court, with a Poem by Mibu no Tadamine. Artist: Rekisentei (Chokyosai) Eiri (Japanese, active ca. 1789-1801). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: H. 9 3/16 in. (23.3 cm); W. 7 1/16 in. (17.9 cm). Date: ca. 1791.
The image presents a fanciful depiction of a court poet accompanied by two young women in contemporary Edo garb. The poem is by Mibu no Tadamine, an early Heian courtier-poet (active 898-920) who was counted among the Thirty-Six Poetic Immortals (Sanjurokkasen). The poem refers to the New Year's custom of plucking pine saplings while composing poems praying for long life; it reads:
Ne no hi suru
nobe ni komatsu no
nakariseba
chiyo no tameshi ni
nani o hikamashi
If on the day of the rat
no pine saplings
are to be found
what should we pluck
to pray for longevity?
--[Mibu no] Tadamine
(Trans. John T. Carpenter).
