Reflections
The calligraphy was written at a place that is a national treasure, on a prestigious occasion that occurs only once every 400 years, along with the hollyhock crest that represents the Tokugawa family. I was told that the calligraphy would be shown to Tsunenari Tokugawa, the 18th head of the Tokugawa family, and other related people, so I wrote it while wishing for "continued prosperity and peace for everyone here in Shizuoka and in the region.
“It even has a hollyhock crest and is well written. Please keep up the good work.”

“Thank you very much for dedicating this precious work by Ms. Shoran. It was a very powerful and energetic work, and we have displayed it in the Kaguraden. I am sure Lord Ieyasu would have seen it.”
