Okon became a celebrated calligrapher early in her life, performing demonstrations for the emperor at age 10. This phrase is from the poem Returning Home by the Chinese recluse-poet Tao Yuanming (365–427), written on the occasion of his retirement from an official position:
“Clouds aimlessly rise from the peaks”
雲無心出岫
