問余何意栖碧山
"Yoni t? nan no i zo e kizan ni sumu to"
笑而不答心自閑
"Waraite kotaezu kokoro onozukara kan'nari"
桃花流水?然去
"T? ka ry? sui y? zen to shite saru"
別有天地非人間
"Betsuni ten Chino jin kan ni arazaru ari"
Modern translation
"How do you feel about living in such a deep green mountain?"
Asks me.
I just laugh and don't answer.
How far my heart is stretched.
Floating peach petals, the water flows forever.
This is a different world from the world.
Commentary
It is a poem created under the influence of Tao Yuanming. It's full of recluse spirit and I think it's wonderful.
Moreover, this master is not trying to impose this kind of vulgar life on urban people. "Laugh and don't answer" This is good.
Your countryside is good ~. Living in the mountains is the best! You don't have to talk about it.
There is happiness in both the world and the world. My husband seems to know it properly. So don't push it. "Laugh and don't answer."
What is "KAKEJIKU"? -The Japanese Hanging Scroll- and how to enjoy them?
KAKEJIKU is traditionally displayed in TOKONOMA(an alcove in traditional Japanese room).
They maily display for their guests and for carrying out the seasonal events.
So why don't you have a few and try changing them depends on the guests, seasons and even for your feelings!
Modern Japanese houses even don't have a TOKONOMA, so less and less people are displaying them these days.
It is a shame that people forget about KAKEJIKU.
However it is more important to actually display, respect and enjoy in your own ways rather than following all the traditional ways.
You can enjoy freely and display in just like any ways!!
