The stars in the sky are all rising above
Human Waterless East

In the sky, all the stars are pointing north.
There is no human being who does not see the water in the east.

I wrote a passage from a poem by Anbun-an-shu of the Song dynasty, which states that all the stars look up to the North Star and (in China) that the rivers of this world flow eastward, and is said to be explaining the inherent orientation of all things.

Considering the process by which clerical script was created, I think it is difficult to write large unless you intentionally decorate it with lines and composition, but this time I deliberately tried to make it look like a work of art by making the expression gentler and changing the curvature of the dots and strokes depending on the top and bottom of the paper. However, I just couldn't get the positioning of the characters on the left side of the page right, and it ended up revealing a simple lack of skill.
