"The three saints laugh at the same time"
The motif of this work is based on the Zen anecdote "Kokei Sansho".I tried to compare the three people, high priest "Huiyuan", poet "Tou Yuanming",taoist "Riku Shusei" to kappa.
The phrase on the right side is a extract from Li Bai's "Overlooking Mt. Lu Waterfall Part 1".
而我樂名山 對之心益閑 無論漱瓊液
且得洗塵顔 且諧宿所好 永願辭人間
Well, I can enjoy the famous mountains.
Faced with it, my heart will become quieter and quieter.
Of course, I will rinse with the beautiful water.
And I can wash the dust face.
Also, there is a suitable place for lodging.
I wish for a long time, to live away from human society.
