拍品专文

Bamboo in snow is an enduring symbol of resilience and integrity in East Asian culture: deeply rooted, it bends under the weight of wind and snow, yet rises upright again. Here, Hiroshige quotes a couplet by the Tang-dynasty Chinese poet Sun Xian, praising the noble character traditionally embodied by bamboo:
貞姿曾冒雪
高節欲凌雲
Their pure shapes were once covered by snow,
Their lofty principles aiming to reach above the clouds.

(Translation by Henri Kerlen)
