The \"pine at the bottom of the ravine\" represents resolve and character, able to withstand pressure and hardship (the snow) without losing its essential form. Together, they offer a complete image of someone whose center cannot be shaken, whatever storms pass through their life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eArtist\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSigned 雲峰書 (\"Unhō sho,\" \"respectfully brushed by Unhō\"), the art-name of the calligrapher or Zen practitioner who composed this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Presentation\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrushed in sumi ink on paper, mounted in warm gold-brown silk-brocade borders. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chikoyaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67620409835599,"sku":"CKY-KAK-055","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/6588\/1423\/files\/IMG_E1435_result.jpg?v=1791111797","url":"https:\/\/chikoyaki.com\/products\/vintage-japanese-calligraphy-scroll-moon-pine-zen-resilience-kakemono","provider":"Chikoyaki","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
