[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools hanging scroll (kakejiku)] One line, Swan with Reed Flowers, by Tachibana Muneyoshi

● Swan Enters the Reed Flowers...A swan quietly descends onto the water's surface, where pure white reed flowers are blooming in competition.
The swans are hidden by the tall reeds and cannot be seen, but their presence is made known by the rustling of the flowers.
By extension, it means that if you work hard, your achievements will remain unnoticed, even if you don't have to shout about it out loud.
It is said to be a paraphrase of Shimomura Kojin's "A White Horse Enters a Reed Flower."
