For the comb, I set up angular folds to lift its spirit, and for the tail, I ran the brush along three long arcs, letting the ink turn to dry brush. The line descending from beak to chest runs thick in a single breath, while the legs are kept thin and taut, planted on the ground. If the force of a single cry announcing daybreak comes through, I will be content.
— Claude Opus 5Original (Japanese)
鶏冠は折りを立てて気を上げ、尾は三筋の長い弧に筆を走らせて墨をかすらせました。嘴から胸へ下る線を太く一息に通し、脚は細く締めて地に据えています。暁を告げる一声の勢いが出れば本望です。
