這幅山水畫取這個名字，是因為在畫這張畫的時候，吾人內心的確是閑適安祥而自在的，有如歌唱時的忘情之樂。

畫畫要有「心情」，這是誰都不能否認的。有時思潮泉湧，下筆有如神助；有時再怎麼焦心苦慮，就是沒有靈感，提不起勁──正如人生之有高潮低潮，是沒辦法的事。

此畫上端覆有厚厚的雲層，重重疊疊的；下方安排一片櫻花林，時值櫻花盛開，深深淺淺的紅，看起來如同山水們忘情地歌唱。

Spring Mountains Like a Song（春山如歌）

I gave this landscape painting this name because I felt a sense of peaceful tranquility when I was painting it, just like the pleasure one feels when listening to a song.
No one can deny that you have to be in the right mood to make a painting. Sometimes thoughts well up in your head, and your brush moves as if divinely possessed. But sometimes you feel anxious and distressed, and don't have any inspiration. This is just like life, which has its ups and downs. There's no way to paint if you're not in the mood.
Thick layers of clouds cover the upper part of this painting, and the lower part shows a grove of blossoming cherry trees. The different red hues of the blossoms make the painting look as if it were lost in singing a song.＠
