Lot Essay

Bosai's poem has been translated by S. Addiss:

The rain clears, peaks are a rich dark green,
Lake mountain scenery is piled up around my table.
Picking up my brush, I have no need to seek true resemblance -
I casually depict my literati and unworldly feelings.
Spring of 1807, drunkenly sketched by Bosai
