A passage from A Song of Unending Sorrow, by the Chinese poet Bai Juyi (772–846), is brushed in the distinctive style associated with Konoe Nobutada, who was renowned for his highly expressive cursive calligraphy. The extended poem, recounting the tragic story of how the Emperor Xuanzong’s control of the empire was undone by his love for Lady Yang Guifei, resonated with members of palace circles from ancient times onward.
