Sanpitsu

Sanpitsu

The term "Sanpitsu" (三筆) or "three brushes" is used in Japanese to refer to a group of three famous Heian period calligraphers:

*Emperor Saga 嵯峨天皇, 786–842.
*Kūkai 空海, 774–835.
*Tachibana no Hayanari, 橘逸勢 c. 782-842.

A later group of calligraphers named in imitation of the original Sanpitsu are Kan'ei Sanpitsu (寛永三筆) named for the Kan'ei period in which they flourished:

*Honami Kōetsu 本阿弥光悦, 1558-1637
*Konoe Nobutada 近衛信尹, 1565-1614
*Shōkadō Shōjō 松花堂昭乗, 1584-1639

Yet another group named in this fashion are the Zen Chinese calligraphers who worked in Japan known as the Obaku no Sanpitsu (黄檗三筆).
