The character Take (bamboo) is struck with six brisk strokes of dark ink on this Chagake tea scroll signed Mitsuhiro (Karasuma Mitsuhiro, 1578-1638) and dated 1631. The calligraphy is exquisite. Mitsuhiro was born the son of Karasuma Mitsunobu (1543-1606) and, like his auspicious father, was a well known poet and songwriter accomplished in calligraphy. The paper is, as might be expected, repaired in several places and has marks and yellowing consistent with age, however is still supple and easily displayed. It is bordered in crushed blue paper, dating to the Meiji period, and came from the same collection as the two scrolls by Genryu. The scroll measures 22-1/2 by 44 inches (57 x 112 cm). There is one crease penetrating from the left side through the first character of the signature. Otherwise the scroll is in surprisingly good condition.
