Year of the Rat 4718

Katsushika Hokusai, Edo period

Year of the Rat 4718

The rat travels with
the good Lord of Beginnings,
remover of obstacles,
He will need her to gnaw through
the walls of greed and of fear.

Año de la rata 4718

La rata viaja
con el buen Señor de los comienzos
derribador de obstáculos.
La necesitará para que roe a través
de los muros de la codicia y el temor.
