This is part of a ten-line poem composed by Shin Wi (pen-name: Jaha), who excelled in poetry, writing, and painting. The poem is written by hand on thin silk fabric. Shin Wi’s handwriting creates an impression of richness and beauty. It appears that he sought to gain a decorative effect by writing the poem on a somewhat flamboyant material.
