和歌短冊（松上藤）[A waka tanzaku calligraphy: Upturned wisteria above pine trees]

Calligraphic poems, written on long strip of paper (Tanzaku) by Ariosa Rokujo, a court noble from the late Edo period to the Meiji period. He advocated Sonno Joi (the principle of advocating reverence for the Emperor and the expulsion of foreigners) and became one of the Eighty-eight court nobles who protested against the U.S.-Japan Treaty of Amity and Commerce in the Ansei era. He later changed his position to support the integration of the imperial court and the shogunate. He became Kokuji goyogakari (a general official of the Imperial Household in charge of the state affairs).
