DRAGON

Finally The Rusuitenji Rising Dragon finishesd!

This guy had come several times a year by bullet train from Yamaguchi for the weekends.

Last year, I think it was only two or three times. Then it took three years or more to finish.

It may seem very long way to go, if you don’t give up you will get it done. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

流水点字 Ru-Sui-Ten-Ji (Put a letter on the flow)

Kukai met a boy when he was walking along a creek. (Kukai was a Japanese Buddhist monk, calligrapher, and poet who founded the esoteric Shingon school of Buddhism.)

“Can you write on the flow?”
The boy said and wrote a Kanji character that means dragon on the creek. 

Strangely the letter didn’t flow, stayed still on the surface. 

When he finished the letter with a final dot it turned into a dragon and flew away with a roaring sound.

In fact, that boy was an incarnation of Monju-Bosatsu.
