K107 Plum Tree Dragon by Kōkai Tōryū 巨海東流
Why does my painted plum tree in bloom resemble a dragon?
The plum tree has been transformed into a dragon dancing high above, In celebration for the god of spring. The dragon is festooned with fresh buds. I saw this image during a dream on New Years Day and had to put it on paper. |
元旦慶中画梅作龍図題亦夢中所感
碓房画
作繋綴花懸呆々新
見上天尾東君尚舞無窮
一点墨梅何所似作龍祝
