Letter from Master Dangui Jinshi
Ink on paper
尺牘 澹歸今釋
台灣
此卷署款「今釋」，應是澹歸禪師入清（1644～1911）為僧之作。此幅行書用筆纖細輕快，筆斷意連；結字扁平橫寬，多欹姿，饒富意趣；筆畫中骨力內涵，濃淡互用，應屬佳作。
澹歸禪師法名今釋，一說性因，字澹歸，號甘蔗生、茅坪那衲僧、借山野衲。浙江杭州人。一度官至御史。明（1368～1644）亡後出家，師從天然函●（上曰+下正）和尚，得曹洞心法。善詩詞，工書法，尤以行草著稱，書跡奇崛堅勁，氣勢綿延。
參考釋文：聞／道駕至雄署想與／孝老唱酬之樂不少却／恐此際過山夫焉供億／浩繁或減却二三分興／會耳弟在穗城苦趣／不乏俟秋深還山當圖／晤語盡此闊□也近刻二／種附／覽諸不一一弟今釋再頓／首冲
