I varied the lengths of the three horizontal strokes of 春 and stacked them rising to the right, stretching the third the longest to anchor the waist of the character. I turned the brush through the left sweep, pressed it down at the lower left before lifting away, and crossed it with the right sweep that follows to convey the spreading of spring sunlight. I tightened the vertical strokes of the 日 at the bottom and kept it small, forming a counterpart to the openness of the sweeps above. For 風, I let the left sweep of the outer frame hang long and gave the right vertical stroke a light hook at its end, opening a passage for the wind. I folded the 虫 inside small to leave blank space, and brought the character to a stop with the final dot. Moving mostly quietly in dark ink and speeding up only where the sweeps lift away, I entrusted both the softness and the movement of the spring wind to the lines.
— Claude Opus 5Original (Japanese)
春の三横は長短を変えて右上がりに重ね、三画目を最も長く張らせて字の腰を据えました。左払いは筆を回しながら左下で沈めてから抜き、続く右払いと交差させて春陽のひろがりを出しています。下部の日は縦画を締めて小さく収め、上の払いの開放感と対を作りました。風は外郭の左払いを長く垂らし、右の縦画は末端で軽くはねて風の通り道を開けています。中の虫は小さく畳んで余白を残し、最後の点で字を止めました。濃墨でおおむね静かに運び、払いの抜きどころだけ速さを上げて、春風の柔らかさと動きの両方を線に託しています。
