She was born the illegitimate daughter of a samurai from the T?d? family. Soon after her birth, she was adopted by ?tagaki Mitsuhasa, who worked at Chion'in, an important temple of the J?do (Pure Land) school in Ky?to. In 1798, after losing her mother and brother, she was sent to serve as a lady-in-waiting at Kameoka Castle in Tanba, where she was taught classical poetry, calligraphy, and martial arts. At only 33 years of age, she had already experienced some fateful years in her life, losing two husbands and all five of her children. She then decided to shave her hair and take Buddhist vows, taking the name Rengetsu (Lotus Moon). During this time, she lived with her stepfather near Chion'in Temple. After his death in 1832, Rengetsu began making her extraordinary pottery, which she usually inscribed with her own waka (31-syllable classical poetry) and sold to support herself. With her unique combination of pottery, calligraphy, and poetry, Rengetsu gained recognition far beyond the borders of Ky?to during her lifetime.

          Est: €350 - €550

          Bamboo and paper folding fan (?gi) inscribed by the Buddhist nun Otagaki Rengetsu (1791-1875) with one of her waka-poems: Wakaba ni waureshiki koto okiku mo yoshiuki koto kikademiminashi mo yoshi:Biography of Otagaki RengetsuWhen thirty-three years old Otagaki Nobu had already buried two husbands and two children. She renounced the world and became a nun and used from then on the name Rengetsu (Lotus-Moon). She did not enter a convent but lived on her own at the precincts of a number of temples. Gradually she lived the life of a recluse literati sustaining herself with calligraphies (written in a very fine hand with a thin brush) of her own waka-poems occasionally accompanied by a small drawing. Although an able poet, her waka-poems which were later gathered in the only book that appeared during her life (Ama no karumo, 1870) are rather traditional and continue the heritage of a thousand years of waka-poetry.More remarkable was her pottery which became a huge success, so much so that it was said that eventually most people in Kyoto owned one of her piece. She mainly made tea bowls (chawan) for chanoyu. These bowls are rather large as tea is made with a tea whisk and tea sets consisting of a small tea pot, five small tea cups and a water cooler (looking as if made from lotus leaves) used in sencha tea drinking. This is a far more informal form of enjoying tea than the tea ceremony chanoyu. She decorated her tea ware also with her own poems, written with a brush but more often carved in the clay. She also made other types of pottery such as vases or water pots.When around sixty years old, she became acquainted with the young Tomioka Tessai (1837-1924) who came to live with her as a kind of pageboy. When she once again moved in 1862, she left her small house to him though they still worked together. When she turned seventy-five she started to live at a house at the Jink?’in in the north of Kyoto which turned out to be her last abode.Around 1860 copies of her work appeared on the market. It was rumoured that she was often so kind to help forgers when they had difficulties with her handwriting and wrote herself poems on fake pottery!Eventually Tomioka Tessai who painted the best known portrait of Rengetsu became the last great literati painter of Japan, known for his paintings in a very individual style often accompanied by Chinese poems or an inscription in Chinese.Origin: JapanPeriod: 1791-1875Sizes: 43.50 cm.
