| Full size 56 cm x 105 cm, letter only 18 cm x 49 cm. Dating Edo Eras, approximately early 17c. Excellent condition, the paper scroll mounting has been replaced in a few places and slit open on upper right hand corner (see photos), and remains well intact. This appears to be a letter written to the famous tea master, architect, calligrapher and poet Kobori Enshu, who lived from 1579-1647. Enshu was a student of Furuta Oribe and was in the service of Hideyoshi and later Tokugawa Ieyasu. Mounted on a marvelous Edo Era crushed paper (called "momogami") background, this rare historic document is ideal for use in establishing an authentic tea ceremony setting. | ||
