Calligraphy draft: 疾如風、徐如林、侵掠如火、不動如山

疾如風

徐如林

侵掠如火

不動如山

敬老之日思信玄

疾如風、徐如林、侵掠如火、不動如山

is the phrase used on the battle standard of Takeda Shingen (武田信玄), a warlord who lived during Japan's Warring States Period.

It came from the phrase in Sun-tzu's The Art of War,

故其疾如風，其徐如林，侵掠如火，不動如山

which means "as swift as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as fierce as fire, as unmovable as the mountain."

 

This is still a draft; it obviously needs more work before I can come up with something that I find satisfactory. Do compare the draft with the final version (when it comes out...) 

Update 25 Sep 2022: Another draft.

Update 1 October 2022: I think I like this the best.
