Description

Aoyama Sanu used a calligraphic form called running script to brush this composition by Du Fu (712–770) in a mode of classical Chinese poetry that features eight lines of five-character regulated verse. The poem concerns the complex mood brought on by spending a rainy night on a boat set for departure, unable to go ashore to say farewell to a friend who has made the journey possible. Du Fu is among the most well-known Chinese poets.
