Sosekido has already started practicing July´s task. Let´s begin with Kaisho (楷書)  for advanced level.

You can read this poem as “洲渚遠く陰映し (Shuusho tooku in-ei shi)”, and the meaning is, the island and the shore are in a distance, sometimes they seem to be visible and sometimes not.

The poet went to a trip and spent whole day in the nature, now the sun sank and since it´s getting darker, the scenery is becoming merge into the dark. That is when he wrote this part of the poem.

In this practice the fourth Kanji, 隂   is a traditional style and is the same as 陰 .

It´s quite straight forwards. Let´s try, shall we?
