We at Seikenji were very pleased to receive the envoys on their way to carry out official duties in Edo. As is custom, their visit was a significant act ordered by the king. Welcoming the vehicles of the procession does not simply mean prostrating on the ground. The mountains that had been covered in snow until now have cleared, and it feels like a pure wind is blowing.
I am deeply grateful to the envoys for cherishing the memory of the wise envoys of old by walking along the paths which they once strolled. The midwinter clouds stretch into infinity, protecting Seikenji. I have a request regarding display at Seikenji, which is said to resemble Naksansa. When you paint the grounds of Naksansa, please do not embellish the painting with monkeys. Rather, in the scene there should be lotus flowers or a mountain crest on which grow slightly drooping trees.
The sea is at low tide, and the light of morning has begun to shine. The various flags of the mission’s procession are planted around the temple. What could be better than the rain? A fragrant breeze blows along the skin of the rugged mountain.
