Hanging scroll, Daitoku-ji, Obai-in, written by Kobayashi Taigen, "Shoju Sennen no Midori" (Pine Trees Retain Their Green for a Thousand Years), one-line calligraphy, paper, rare, mounted as a scroll, tea ceremony utensils, hanging scroll, beautiful condition. Almost new, unused. "Shoju Sennen no Midori" (Pine Trees Retain Their Green for a Thousand Years) means "pine trees maintain their green color for a thousand years," an auspicious phrase celebrating longevity and unchanging truth. However, this phrase is followed by the phrase "Fu-nyu-ji-nin-i" (Not entering the mind of the people of the time), which also includes the lesson that **"in a world often captivated by flashy things, it is difficult to notice the value of the pine tree, which continues to make quiet, steady efforts unnoticed."** Size (main paper) 290 x 985 mm I will sell this to those who understand that it is an antique item stored at home. Thank you.
