Meaning of Words 微風吹幽松 Bifū yūshō o fuku A gentle breeze blows through the tranquil pines Yaku: Translation This phrase comes from a poem by Hanshan: “A gentle breeze blows through the tranquil pines; when listened to closely, the sound becomes even more delightful.” It expresses the serene atmosphere found in the mountains of Hanshan. If one wishes to attain a state of peaceful enlightenment, they should remain in such a place. The delicate branches of quiet pine trees sway as a soft breeze passes through, and the sound of the wind, when heard nearby, becomes all the more beautiful. ------------------ Setting weight This piece weighs 0.6 kg and will be shipped in 80 size.
