万葉集にも登場する景勝地松川浦(福島県相馬市)を表す「松川十二景和歌色紙帖」(相馬市教育委員会、相馬市指定文化財)は一帯を治めた藩主相馬昌胤(1661 ~ 1728)によって元禄元年(1688)頃に作られた。松川十二景は、瀟湘八景の八景風に場所と季節や天候を組み合わせるのではなく、十二の場所を選んでいる。松川十二景は東山天皇の勅許を得て、公家が和歌を詠むことにより、新名所の権威を高めている。新名所を定め、権威づけることは、兄の急死により新しく藩主となった昌胤の正統性を示すものであった。新名所の権威を高める和歌に合わせて実景図というよりは名所絵風の狩野派の絵が描かれた。十二景は季節の順となる1 松川浦2 水茎山3 梅川4 沖賀島5 松沼浜6 川添森7 長洲磯8 紅葉岡9文字島10 離崎11 飛鳥湊12 鶴巣野が元来の順序とみられる。絵師は狩野常信ら江戸狩野の正統的な顔ぶれであり、絵も新名所、そして新名所を制定する藩主の正統性を補強する。Sōma Masatane (1661–1728), the feudal lord of Sōma Domain (now Fukishima Prefecture),commissioned the album Matsukawa jūni-kei waka-shikishi-chō (Tanka poems and pictures for the Twelve Views of Matsukawa; Sōma Board of Education) around 1688. Matsukawa is a famous place, which we can already find mention of in the Man'yōshū, a collection of poems from the 8th century. The Twelve Views of Matsukawa designates places only, unlike the Eight Views of Xiaoxiang or the Eight Views of Ōmi, which combine places with seasons or particular kinds of weather. The Emperor Higashiyama sanctioned the Twelve Views newly-chosen by Masatane, and twelve court nobles composed tanka to accompany them. In this way, the new Twelve Views of Matsukawa were officially accepted. Masatane, who inherited Sōma Domain due to his brother's sudden death, wanted to represent his legitimacy through this official acceptance. Moreover,the pictures of the Twelve Views were painted by genuine Edo Kano painters, including Kano Tsunenobu, to further legitimize Masatane's authority. These pictures were not painted as real landscape, but as idealized ones with overtones of classical literature. The order of the Twelve Views was originally determined by season, but it is different in the album.
