About the Item

Taisho Period Calligraphy Screen: The Dragon's Song (2/2) Period: Taisho Size: 174 x 172.5 cm (68.5 x 67.9 inches) SKU: PTA77 This calligraphy screen from the Taisho period is inscribed with a profound poem, "The Dragon's Song," capturing the mystical essence of a dragon’s melody weaving through an ancient forest. Each character is boldly stroked, embodying the powerful and serene energy of the dragon’s song and the subtle fragrance that permeates the misty landscape. The artwork invites viewers to delve into the depths of mythology and nature, where the dragon’s breath becomes a melodic whisper across the timeless canvas, offering a gateway to the spiritual and the sublime. In the depths, where shadows lie, The dragon's song begins to rise, A melody of ancient lore, Whispered through the forest floor. Deep within the misty veil, A fragrance lingers, soft and pale, It weaves through trees, a silent thread, Where dragon's breath and song are spread. Majestic notes that fill the night, With echoes pure and whispers light, In the heart of nature's throng, Rises deep, the dragon's song. A scent so rich, it stirs the soul, A tale of ages to extol, In the deep, where mysteries meet, The dragon's song and fragrance greet.
