遠流波如層
終日釣舟橫
但有蠢翁動
魚今不求名
In this far-flowing stream, waves like layered peaks!
All day, beached fishing boats lie on their sides.
There are only these foolish fellows abroad:
Today, no fish are out seeking fame!
This painting was included in the sales exhibition at Mitsukoshi department store on February 22–26, 1929, and is featured in the book Rock Slivers and Lonely Clouds. Ishikawa Yoshijirō (1881–1969), managing director of Kyoto Electric Light, acquired this painting for only 120 Yen in 1928 (approximately $54 at that time, or about $900 today).
