Description

These three characters, read from right to left, convey the meaning that people prefer to follow an individual who possesses a considerate and warm personality—much like clouds follow a dragon, a motif found in classical East Asian visual culture and literature.
Horizontally long white paper inked with thick, black Japanese characters that streak and splash at the edges (see "Description"). In the lower left corner sits a square, red stamp comprised of more characters. A thin, light brown border runs around the paper, decorated in winding lines in a slightly darker brown.
