松子南望照飲泉
山中高臥豈將仙
此來當笑皆依舊
何獨文章不流連
Gazing south through pine cones,
There shines my drinking brook:
Here in the mountains, calmly reclining,
Could I almost be an immortal'
Coming here again, I must laugh—
Everything just the same,
So why is my writing—that alone!—
Not flowing effortlessly'
Published in the book Rock Slivers and Lonely Clouds, this painting was also included in the sales exhibition at Mitsukoshi department store on February 22–26, 1929. Izumi Kichijirō (born 1874), a lead pipe manufacturer and founding member of the Kodōjin Society in 1928, purchased it for Yen 120 (approximately $54 at that time, or about $900 today).
