Catalogue Note
Artist's inscription:
The flowing stream winds its [way], its bubbling sound echoing through empty hills;
The inhabitants in the hills live their lives in leisure.
They saw the rise of mists around four directions;
Where the sound of bells travel far through the green cliffs.
- Scent of Ink, p. 128
