Inscriptions
Quatrain of five-syllable lines from Chinese-style poem by Zen monk, Ryokan (1758-1831), written in the author's calligraphic style by Rosanjin: When we brothers, older and younger, have a chance to meet, Both of us now have eyebrows turning gray and drooping. We enjoy the moment, and rejoice, our world is calm and peaceful, And day after day can get drunk as though we are fools. (Translation John T. Carpenter, 2021) Transliteration: Keitei ai au tokoro tomo ni kore hakubi taru shibaraku taihei no yo o yorokobi nichinichi youte chi no gotoshi
