Small-scale standard script is often neglected, but it is in fact surprisingly difficult to write with real distinction. Each character is extraordinarily delicate, seeming to float and move while demonstrating structural firmness and balance.
“Again Respectfully Echoing the Rhymes of the Poem "New Year’s Morn" by the Monk of the Segai-in
Capital country weather, spring comes to Kitano!
Enlightened times, undeservedly shared with this “man-with-can-at-court!”
White clouds naturally tinted with blue-cloud colors:
Yearly festival—mingling in the dust, mingling in celebrating the new!”
