4)Draw a pattern with a cherry brossom brush.
5)Repeat to change the color

This poem is "IROHA UTA"
This is a Japanese poem, probably written in the Heian era (AD 794–1179).

(transliteration)
---------------------------------------------------------
Iro ha nihoheto
Chirinuru wo
Wa ka yo tare so
Tsune naramu
Uwi no okuyama
Kefu koete
Asaki yume mishi
Wehi mo sesu
---------------------------------------------------------
(Translation)
---------------------------------------------------------
Even the blossoming flowers [Colors are fragrant, but they]
Will eventually scatter
Who in our world
Is unchanging?
The deep mountains of karma--
We cross them today
And we shall not have superficial dreams
Nor be deluded.

This is same poem with above.
