SHIH CHIU TSAI SANG
DRAWING by DANIEL MITSUI


SHIH CHIU TSAI SANG


This is a calligraphic treatment of a couplet from the Shih Ching, the Chinese Classic of Poetry. The Shih Ching includes 305 poems written in the 11th-7th centuries BC; its compilation is traditionally attributed to Confucius.

This couplet is taken from a poem described by James Legge as allusive, in praise of some one (some earl, probably, of Ts‘aou), uniformly of virtuous conduct and of extensive influence. He translates it: See in the mulberry tree the turtle dove / Her seven young tending with untiring love.

I surrounded the calligraphed ideograms with ornament of cherry and mulberry branches.

Medium: Drawing, black ink on handmade paper
Dimensions: ~3" × ~5"
Year: 2025
