“The artist creates a work. Yet strictly speaking, the calligrapher is influenced by both ancient and contemporary masters, and thus what is called one’s own work is never entirely one’s own. Moreover, collaboration with others has always carried a subtle delight within tradition.”

解說：作者創作出作品。然而確切地說，書家受到古人及現代書家的影響，故而寫出那所謂自己的作品，因此也可以說那並非完全是自己的作品。又，與人合作，在傳統中總是令人感到幽愜。
