Emperor Ôgimachi (1517-93, r. 1557-86), whose given name was Shigehito, was the first son of Emperor Gonara (1496-1557, r. 1526-57). His calligraphy is in the style of his grandfather, Emperor Gokashiwabara (1464-1526, r. 1500-26), which is widely known as Gokashiwabara-in ryû. In this nyôbô hôsho ("imperial document handwritten by court lady"), Emperor Ôgimachi gives instructions for the collection of donations and offerings from provinces for the revival of Shôbô-ji (popularly known as Iwama-dera) in the province of Ômi, which was in ruin at the time. The recipient of the letter, Rishô-in, was a sub-temple of Daigo-ji Temple in Kyoto.
