Inscriptions

Inscription Translation

A lonely temple lies West of the towering cliff;/ Where the old bridge is resting, the waves lost into dusk./ Looking at the plums, two scholars are pondering; lightly they beat on their knees;/ "Which is to be considered first, the poem or the title of the poem?" Signed: The Boundless Treasury of Plum Blossoms, Banri. Three Seals: Chinzan; Banri; Hogai

Inscription Remark

A poem of 35 characters in Chinese with the three seals of Priest Banri (c. 1416–90) of Sokoku-ji in Kyoto, an important Zen center, especially for painting.
