Catalogue Note
Translation of poem inscribed on the present lot:
As dense, verdant grasses fill the gentle slopes,
How the amber butterflies flutter in the zephyrs.
Only the croaking of frogs fills the air,
And the bard pauses, making this scene his muse.

And the bard pauses, making this scene his muse.
