At the Ōi River late 16th - early 17th century

"At the Ōi River" is a Japanese calligraphy work created by Emperor Go-Yōzei in the late 16th to early 17th century. The work is a *tanka*, a short form of Japanese poetry, written in black ink on a tanzaku, a narrow strip of paper. This piece is a fine example of Japanese calligraphy, showcasing the Emperor's skill in using brushstrokes to express the beauty of nature. It is a valuable glimpse into the artistic talents of a Japanese emperor. The work currently resides at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
