Tachibana no Hayanari
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tachibana no Hayanari (橘逸勢, 782-844) was a Heian period Japanese government official, calligrapher, and member of the Tachibana family. He travelled to China in 804, returning in 806. He died while traveling to exile in Izu province for supposed participation in an imperial succession controversy. His most famous remaining calligraphic work is the Ito Naishin'no Ganmon (伊都内親王願文), now in the Imperial Household collection. He is honored as one of the group of three oustanding calligraphers called Sanpitsu (Three Brushes).
