A woodblock illustration depicts a person sitting in a room, possibly consulting a priest or official, with a small table and screen.
The ancestral grave's causality is heavy,
Human affairs are full of errors.
Guard against loss of wealth and property,
Pray for blessings to restore inner balance.
▲ This lot signifies that you receive the resentment of others and, in turn, are made to suffer for the sake of others; there is calamity within your own person.
▲ In all matters, there are many mistakes, and there is a risk of losing wealth.
▲ Those who receive this lot should pray to the gods and buddhas, straighten their hearts, and turn away from evil things.
▲ Exercise caution in all matters.
A woodblock illustration depicts a mountainous landscape with a figure walking along a path near a waterfall and trees.
Boarding a boat and waiting for a favorable wind,
The moonlight is dim and hazy.
Wishing to crush the incense wheel original: "kōrin" (a metaphor for worldly desires or fleeting time) and leave,
The high mountains have ten thousand layers.
▲ This lot is like waiting for the wind while on a boat; things will not go as you wish.
▲ Just as the moonlight is hidden by clouds, your heart is confused and there will be much agitation.
▲ Those who receive this lot should not act in haste.
▲ In all matters, one must wait for the right time.
▲ Pray to the gods and buddhas to put your heart at ease.
▲ "Ten thousand layers of high mountains" refers to the great number of obstacles you face.
