Notes
The poem inscribed on the painting reads:
Ya o musunde kuzan ni yoru
Kokoro kan narukoto taiko ni nitari
Ashita niwa inki no mushite
Nakaba kantan no ame to naru o miru
Living deep in the lonely mountains, my mind is as calm as the ancient past. Tomorrow dense wet mist will hang over the peak, and I will watch the mist transformed to cold and heavy rain.
Please note the diagonal line in the center of the painting in the catalogue illustration is a catalogue printing error and is not on the actual painting.
