Ishiyamagire

This refers to the fragments of "Ise-shu" and "Tsurayuki-shu, Part 2" from "Honganjihon Thirty-six Nin Kashu" (owned by Nishi Honganji, Kyoto). Originally a booklet bound in clay, it was cut up in 1929 (Showa 4) and divided into separate collections for various families. When it was divided, it was named by Masuda Dono, after the Honganji Temple was originally located in Ishiyama, Settsu Province (around present-day Osaka Castle). The author of "Ise-shu" is unknown (according to Fujiwara Kinto), but "Tsurayuki-shu, Part 2" is believed to have been copied in the original hand of Fujiwara Sadanobu (1088-1156), the fifth-generation grandson of Fujiwara Yukinari, around 1112 (Ten'ei 3). The work is made mainly of white karakami paper with brown, indigo, and light blue dyed paper, and is made using the unique Honganji style of cut and torn joints, with outlines of small birds and broken branches painted in silver paint, clearly reflecting the aesthetic sense of the elegant court nobility.

『本願寺本三十六人家集』（京都・西本願寺蔵）のうち、『伊勢(いせ)集』および『貫之(つらゆき)集下』の断簡をいう。もとは粘葉装(でっちょうそう)の冊子本で、1929年（昭和4）に切断され、諸家に分蔵される。分割の際、本願寺がもと摂津国石山（現在の大阪城のあたり）にあったことにちなみ、益田鈍翁(ますだどんおう)によって命名された。『伊勢集』の筆者は不明（伝藤原公任(きんとう)）であるが、『貫之集下』は、藤原行成(ゆきなり)5代目の孫、藤原定信(さだのぶ)（1088―1156ころ）の真筆で、およそ1112年（天永3）ごろの書写と推定される。白具引き地の唐紙を中心に、茶、藍(あい)、縹(はなだ)色の染紙を用い、切り継ぎや破り継ぎ、という本願寺本独特の手法に、銀泥で小鳥や折枝の下絵を描くなど、華麗な王朝貴族の美意識を顕著に反映したものである。
