Poem:
Boku myô onozukara shiru yoku sei wo hiraku koto o/Suiyo no kisai wa sei ni masarazu./Ikansen sakan ni kinbanjô o uru to iedomo./Kamikudakete suisui kokusui no sei.Calligraphy has its own way of determining sobriety/One who is drunk cannot make the brush run clean/It matters not if you use golden sheets,/It is, in short, the soul of black water
