Note

There are two elements in shodo art: beauty of visual aspect and meaning of characters. Some shodo artists make much account of the former, but i think the both elements are important for the shodo art.

This time i created a work of the same as #145 poem after a while, to try to see how the work would change (or not) when i had forgotten about it.

The result of that it turns out that my impression from the poem was not different. It was the image of clouded moist air and light of the moon through the cloud.

i represented the same image in a different design.
