This work was created according to a book of Mr. Komatsu, Hideo’s “YAMATO UTA” .
He is a Japanese philology specialist, and said in the book, there are two kind of reading way in this poem.
One way is,
| Seeker of truth, | |
|---|---|
| Follow no path. | |
| All paths lead where truth is. | |
| Here! |
Another way is,
| Seeker of truth. | |

| Truth is here! |
Expressing the two ways in a work was tried by “Kana-sho” method, i.e., writing in an irregular hand and using by only lines and shades in Chinese ink.
