The poem reads: "In spring, the flowers; in summer, the cuckoo's song; in autumn, the moon; and in winter, the snow, clear and cold" - capturing the essence of the changing seasons and their reflection of life's ephemeral beauty. The work is signed and sealed by Suika at the lower left, providing a personal touch from the calligrapher known for her approachable and gentle teaching style. Ozawa Suika is also recognized for being the wife of Ozawa Akimi, the author of the famous children's story “Tobenai Hotaru”. Accompanying the scroll is a note explaining the text, adding depth and accessibility to the piece. The rod ends are crafted from ceramic, and the paper's surface is delicately embellished with gold leaf, giving a luxurious and textured finish to the artwork. While signs of age, such as slight wear and spots, are present, they contribute to the historical value and character of the scroll. These are detailed in the accompanying photographs, which offer a full view of its condition. Overall Dimensions: approx.
