Thank you for viewing! This is a one-of-a-kind, handwritten shikishi (poem card) that I have written with my heart. "Nōka kō man'i" (If you play with flowers, their fragrance fills your clothes) 【Meaning of the words】 This poetic phrase describes the scene of playing with flowers, and the fragrance unknowingly permeates one's clothes. This phrase represents the spring scenery and, like the teaching of "If you associate with vermilion, you will become red," it contains the Zen teaching that if you place yourself in a good teacher, good friends, and a good environment, you will be naturally influenced and your character will improve without even realizing it. Also, it has the meaning of admonishing the importance of diligence, **"If you don't take action, you won't gain anything."** 【Features of the work】 With brushstrokes that emphasize "flow" and "strength," I expressed the vibrant vitality of spring, where flowers bloom profusely, and the spread of their fragrance. It is a well-balanced work that allows you to feel the strength of the core of the characters within the flowing movement. Because it is handwritten, there is only one of its kind. Please check the force of the brush and the shades of ink from the photos. 【Recommended scenes and seasons】 〇 As a decoration for the tokonoma (alcove) in a tea room or your home's tea room during the spring season (around March, April, and May). 〇 Perfect for the setting of cherry blossom viewing or tea ceremonies related to flowers. 〇 As a decoration in a Japanese-style room or entrance to feel the refreshing spring air. 【Product Details】 Writing: Handwritten by the seller (self-written) Calligraphy: One-of-a-kind Size: Shikishi (approx. 36cm long x 6cm wide) Condition: Brand new, unused I will carefully pack it with care and deliver it to you. ※ Because it is a handwritten work, there are shades of ink and blurring that are not found in mass-produced products.
