"Donshu Jittoku"

"Ten Virtues of Drinking"

2024年 - H1340×W540

The Chinese poem at the upper side is"Solitary drinking" written by Quan De-yu.

Drinking alone, drinking alone again.

The colors of the haze fill the cup.

Everything outside is an empty name.

There is perfect virtue in sake.

The wind is pure and the moon is bright.

If I face this, my emotions will be extreme.

I wrote "Ten Virtues of Drinking" on each label of the empty sake bottle.

After drinking 1 cup of sake,

the tip of my tongue beats a drum

2 cups, throat whistles

3 cups, chest beats

4 cups, navel laughs loudly

5 cups, red lips sing a song

6 cups, the heart is satisfied and anguished

7 cups, whole body dance happily

8 cups, pleasant feelings reach climax

9 cups, a hero is in eyes

10 cups, no enemy in the world
