吳琚: 七言絶句

吳琚（12世紀），開封人。字居父，號雲壑。擅長詩書畫，其書祖述米芾，而峻峭過之，大字絕妙。是幅為吳琚少數遺蹟之一，書蔡襄七絕一首，為現存條幅形式之最早作品。

呉琚：七言絶句

南宋の呉琚は詩書画にすぐれ、その書は米芾に出て、あるいは峻峭でこれを凌ぐとも評されます。本作、もっとも得意とした大字で、北宋の蔡襄の七絶を書しますが、稀少な呉琚書の逸品です。また、今日に現存する最古の条幅形式のものとして、美術史上にも貴重な作品です。

Wu Chu : Quatrain in Heptameter

Wu Chu (twelfth century) was a native of K'ai-feng, Honan province. His style name was Chu-fu and his sobriquet was Yun-ho. He was a gifted poet, calligrapher and painter. His calligraphy is said to be the exposition of the style of Mi Fei, his master, but is evaluated to be superior in its nobility and his talent is especially apparent in large characters. This work, which is an inscription of a heptasyllabic quatrain composed by Ts'ai Hsiang, is one of the rare authentic pieces by Wu Chu. It is also valuable as the oldest extant calligraphy in hanging scroll form.
