Rebirth (No Assumptions), ink, 2015

It is a notice put up for the protection of a certain wonderful plum-tree, and appeals to us with the grim humor of a warlike age. After referring to the beauty of the blossoms, the inscription says: "Whoever cuts a single branch of this tree shall forfeit a finger therefor."
