It describes Li Bai's visit to the Taoist priest Yong, who lived in seclusion in the rugged mountains. He wandered along old paths, and the many high, steep peaks, covered in green, almost touched the sky. The pine trees were tall, and a white crane slept on them. It was truly a fairyland far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world. From these five characters, a sense of tranquility, forgetting the secular world, escaping fame and fortune, and living in seclusion in the mountains emerges. 【Reference】 Master Soshu Kamata (Dogo: Keishu) Former chief priest of Zuiho-ji Temple (Rinzai Sect, Shoshozan Zuiho-ji Temple, Aoba-ku, Sendai City).
